How to make a flaky pastry with Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Описание: A NEW WAY TO BAKE : FLAKY PASTRY 
 
This pastry dispels a number of commonly held beliefs. The results and ways of working with it made me completely rethink the way I thought that butter and other solid fats work in traditional pastry. It appears to me that the fat stops the dough from wanting to form, and the moisture does the opposite and simultaneously binds the dough through its interaction with the gluten.  This paradox creates layers and a dough that doesn’t want to combine, but rolling between two sheets of baking parchment makes easy work of this. This pastry can be baked on its own without weights or baking beans if the tart shape has gently sloping sides, but if it has sharp sides then do blind bake it.  Flaky pastry works great for pies with and without lids and any tart with a rich filling (I always bake mine first before the filling, even if it needs to be baked again). Oil wise, feel free to use any kind – I love using extra virgin olive oil for all my tart cases.
