Flour Dough

Before starting this Flour Dough recipe, make sure you have organised all the necessary ingredients.

In the stand mixer recipient, shape the flour into a fountain. In the centre, add the salt...

... and softened butter.

Start kneading, using the dough hook.

Gradually incorporate the water (it should be at room temperature)...

... until the dough has a firm consistency...

... and comes away from the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough into a recipient and reserve in the fridge for at least 1 hour. It is best to make the dough the day before.
This dough is used to seal the lid on a terrine pot or a casserole so that all the flavours are preserved while cooking. This method is a great idea for braised stews.
