Your dough is ready to be used!

• Spread the dough on a surface covered with flour
• Rub very often your roll with flour to prevent the paste from sticking on it
• Do not put your dough directly in the mold: use baking paper
• Poke the dough with a fork before placing the filling
• Bake your pie or quiche in the hot oven (180 ° C / 375 ° C) to quickly grasp the dough and prevent the filling from moistening and softening the dough. Cooking time, 20 to 50 minutes, will depend on the filling amount.
