Short Dough

The Professional Pastry Chef, Bo Friberg

Yield: 2 Pounds 6 Ounces

6 Ounces Sugar
14 Ounces unsalted Butter, room temperature
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Pound Bread Flour

Place the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla in a mixing bowl; mix at low speed with the dough hook just until combined. Add the flour and mix only until dough is smooth.

Place the dough on a paper-lined sheet pan; press out as flat as possible so that the dough takes up less space and cools quickly.

Cover and refrigerate until firm enough to work with, about 30 minutes.
