The yogurt shortcrust pastry is a base dough that you can use to make tarts and cookies.

When you think of shortcrust pastry, you think of a dough made with butter but there are many other delicious versions of shortcrust pastries even without butter, but with oil, yogurt, etc., etc.

Today I leave you my version with yogurt that will give you light doughs, slightly crumbly on the surface and soft inside. You will see how smooth and wonderful the dough is and above all easy to roll out and work with.

Ingredients

Let’s see the ingredients we need to make the yogurt shortcrust pastry

  • 1 egg
  • 2.1 oz sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4.4 oz plain yogurt (or vanilla)
  • 2.1 oz potato starch
  • 1 pinch fine salt
  • 1.9 oz extra virgin olive oil (or seed oil)
  • 1 tsp rum (or similar liqueur)
  • 0.3 oz baking powder
  • 9.2 oz all-purpose flour

Tools

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Work Surface
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Pastry Cutter

Steps

  • In a mixing bowl, break the egg, add the pinch of salt and sugar and start mixing with a fork.

    Add the oil, plain yogurt, the teaspoon of vanilla extract, the teaspoon of liqueur and continue mixing.

    Once the liquids are mixed start incorporating the dry ingredients. Sift the flour, starch, and baking powder, adding them gradually until you create a dough ball that will be fantastic, soft, and smooth.

  • Once the dough ball is prepared, flour the work surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin.

    At this point, the dough is ready to make tarts, cookies, pastries.

    The cooking time depends on how you use it. Keep in mind that if you make a tart and fill it with soft creams (like ricotta) the dough will remain a bit more moist and take a bit longer than a tart filled with jam.

    The general baking time is around 25/30 minutes in a static oven at 340°F, which may increase or decrease depending on the use.

    For example, if you make cookies, bake for about 12/13 minutes, just be sure to check before turning off the oven.

Storage for Yogurt Shortcrust Pastry

Yogurt shortcrust pastry can be stored like butter or oil shortcrust cookies, in airtight glass, tin jars, or under glass domes if in cake form.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
