Sausage and Broccoli Quiche

To Make the Flaky Pastry Dough:
(This dough makes a light, flaky crust that crumbles delicately at the touch of a fork.)
- Using a rubber spatula, thoroughly mix in a large bowl:
2-1/2 cups Soft White Flour (any all-purpose flour)
1 tsp powdered sugar
1 tsp salt
- Add 1.5 Lbs (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter & 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter and oil into the dry ingredients. Periodically stir dry flour up from the bottom of the bowl and scrape clinging oils off the pastry blender or knives. When finished, the mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.

- Drizzle 1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp ice water over the flour mixture.

- Using the rubber spatula, cut with the blade side until the mixture looks evenly moistened. Press down on the dough with the flat side of the spatula. If the balls of dough stick together, you have added enough water.  If  not, drizzle another 1-2 tbsp ice water over the top.
- Continue to cut in the water, again using the blade of the spatula.

- Press the mixture with your hands until the dough coheres.

- Divide the dough in half, press each half into a thick, flat disk, and wrap tightly in plastic.

- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably for several hours, or up to 2 days before rolling. The dough can also be wrapped airtight and frozen for up to 6 months.  Thaw completely before rolling.
- Yields two 9-inch pie crusts

After rolling out into pans, prebake crusts at 375 degrees (F) for 20 mins.  RIght before making the quiche, whisk 1 large egg yolk & use to brush the inside of the crust.  Add quiche ingredients, continued below.
