Question

Is it supposed to sticky? I'm trying to make a dough for a quiche.

ok that's what i thought, thanks everybody. yeah the recipe calls for a chill anyway.

Answer 1

No it shouldn't be sticky - add a little more flour.

Answer 2

No its not you either added to much water or not enough flour
sometimes adding to much flour or more flour will make the dough tough.
try this technique see if it helps.:

Pâte brisée:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ice water plus additional if necessary

To make pâte brisée:
In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal.

Add the 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding the additional ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball.

Dust the dough with flour and chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.

hope this helps. enjoy.

Answer 4

Not sticky; you have too much water in it.

Add a bit more flour, then sahpe into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and CHILL for 30 min or so. THEN roll out, touching as little as possible w/ your warm hands.

Answer 5

It is supposed to be like pie crust, smooth and elastic.
