Sablé dough to make cookies or for cake base

Save this simple recipe as gold on a cloth as it will be the base of many desserts that we make. Is named Breton sablé or sablé dough and it is a basic, simple dough (type broken dough for example) exquisite. What's more, you can use the same dough to make cookies which are delicious. Imagine a cake with this base, it will be a sensation. I also give you some variants in case you want to make it with cocoa or with the aroma of citrus or vanilla.

If you want to make the chocolate sablé doughYou will only have to substitute about 10-20 grams of flour for the same weight of pure cocoa powder. Likewise, it can be flavored with vanilla essence, grated orange or lemon peel, ground almond, cinnamon or orange blossom water.

    I have two doubts, says YEAST, will it be POWDER ROYAL OR POWDER IMPERIAL? (ITS COLOR AND TECTURE IS VERY LIKE BICARBONATE) the other concern is that it says TO PUT THE MADA IN A SLEEVE AND THE IN THE PHOTO IS A USLERO.
    The explanation is not clear.
    Thank you very much

      Hello Elita, they are baking powders (Royal type chemical yeast) that is to say the one used to make cakes and muffins. Put the dough in a pastry bag if you are going to shape it into tiny cookies. If you are going to use the dough to make a cake base, you can make a ball with the dough and put it whole in a bag. Thanks for writing to us! We are going to change the text so it is not so confusing.

      If you do not know the term MANGA bakery, it is not that it is badly explained, it is your IGNORANCE.

    Good afternoon, please tell me if the small molds need to be oiled, floured or just lined with the dough ... thanks in advance

  5.   isabel tamayo said

    Good morning, tell me if you have to oil flour the pie tins before putting the dough, thanks in advance

    1.    irene.arcas said

      Hello Isabel, it is not necessary to grease the molds since the sablé dough has enough fat that the butter gives it and that it will not stick. Thanks for following us!

    It is clear to me! How strange that they do not understand it. Thanks for the excellent recipe! I already made them and my cake came out really good…. ???

      Thank you Beatriz for your comment !! :)

  11.   Carmelita Reyes said

    good afternoon. Can I put a filling with the raw dough and bake together? Thank you for the recipe

    1.    Irene Arcas said

      Hi Carmelita, you should bake the sablé dough base a little first. 10 minutes at 180º is enough. Then you fill it to your liking and bake it as necessary according to the recipe. Thanks for following us!

  12.   Viviana said

    Hello, Thank you, you help me a lot with your delicacies, I have to cook for my daughter's 15 and everyone contributes, with the delicious meals and desserts that they make, very well explained.

    1.    Irene Arcas said

      Thanks for your message Viviana :)

  13.   Lupite said

    If the filling is baked, I put it already together with the dough to be baked or is it only used for desserts that are added once the base is baked?

    1.    Irene Arcas said

      First you bake the dough alone for 10 minutes at 180º. Then you can fill it and bake the whole set again or fill it cold. Both options are valid. Thanks for writing us Lupité!
      Greetings,

    Can I cut out the sugar if the filling will be salty?

    1.    Mayra Fernandez Joglar said

      Hello Thomas:

      For savory fillings it is better to use this other recipe:

    Good Morning. I have seen in other recipes that the dough is left to rest in the refrigerator after wrapping it in plastic. Is it the same in this one? Do I have to put the preparation in the fridge before baking? How long?
    Thank you!

    1.    Mayra Fernandez Joglar said

      Hello Leonor:

      There are several types of dough: puff pastry, sablée, breeze ... all of them have a lot of butter and it is better to leave them in the fridge to cool. The process also serves to integrate the flavors and make them easier to handle.

      Leave it for 30 minutes to an hour.

      Kisses!

  17.   Maria Castro said

    Can this same dough be used to fill with something salty if the sugar is removed?
    If you can vary the proportions of flour?
    Thank you

    1.    Mayra Fernandez Joglar said

      Hello Maria:

      These doughs are quite delicate and it is best not to touch the quantities because the result can be disastrous.

      If you want a dough for savory recipes, try this recipe:

      Kisses!!

  20.   Elizabeth said

  21.   jula said

  22.   Asuncion Etxeberria said

  23.   Mary. Peaks said

  24.   fraud said

    1.    ascen jimenez said

      Hi Dolo,
      Yes, yes, you can freeze it, even once stretched.
      A hug!

  25.   Liliana said

    Hello, I would like to know if Blancaflor flour can be used instead of common flour and Royal powder?

    1.    ascen jimenez said

      Yes, Liliana. You can use that flour and do without the baking powder.
      A hug!

  26.   Laura said

    I really like the recipes, I'm dabbling in this and it still costs me a bit, especially the decorations and wearing the sleeves, I wish they could send more types. Thanks!!
