For a novice baker, this is the most forgiving dough to work with. The cream cheese allows this pastry some elasticity but still produces tender and flaky results.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Yield Makes 10 pocket pies or 1 double-crusted 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons, plus more for rolling out the dough
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Process the butter, cream cheese, and cream in a food processor, electric mixer, or by hand to thoroughly combine.
  • Add the flour and salt. Process just until combined and the dough holds together in a ball. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Divide into 2 pieces. Flatten into disks and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out. If the dough is chilled overnight, take it out 15 minutes before rolling out.
  • Rub flour all over a rolling pin. Working with one dough disk at a time, place the disk on a clean, well-floured surface. Applying some pressure with the rolling pin, roll gently from the center of the dough to the top and bottom edges. Rotate the disk and roll to the top and bottom edges again. Reflour the work surface and rolling pin, turn the dough over, and continue to roll the dough from the center out to the edges. Turn over and roll again, rotating the disk to ensure even rolling until the dough is about 12 inches in diameter, thin but not transparent.

Low Carb The "Crust" is soft so this is actually more of a casserole dish but the flavor is there. I used Minced Garlic from a Jar rather than Garlic Powder. For the Pizza Sauce I used leftover Kittencal's Pizza Sauce Recipe #65641 that had been frozen after a previous pizza prep . This recipe was Posted On Facebook by a Friend of a Friend of a Friend!

CREAM CHEESE DOUGH



Cream Cheese Dough image

The chef and baker Elisabeth Prueitt's favorite all-purpose dough was inspired by classic rugelach. That dough traditionally combines cream cheese with butter to create a pliable, tangy and tender pastry. Ms. Prueitt, the baking genius behind the sweets at Tartine Manufactory in San Francisco, adapted it to make a versatile, all-purpose, gluten-free pastry. She now uses it for pies, galettes, bars and even savory pastries and tarts. Use it to make her Shaker lemon pie. Got scraps? Bake those, too. Dusted with powdered sugar, they make great little cookies.

Categories     Dessert     Bake

Yield 2 crusts

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
16 Tbs. (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature, cut into cubes

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine the flour and salt and pulse briefly to mix. Add the butter and cream cheese and pulse until the mixture just starts to come together. Transfer the dough to a work surface, divide into 2 equal portions and press each portion into a flat disk. Use 1 or both dough disks immediately, or wrap in plastic wrap for future use (see note above). Makes 2 pastry dough disks.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent it from sticking to your hands and countertop.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. This will help to create clean, even edges.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Baking the cookies at too high of a temperature or for too long will cause them to burn.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese dough is a versatile dough that can be used to make a variety of delicious cookies. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless possibilities with cream cheese dough.
