Description
Sablè is a traditional French shortbread cookie (meaning "sand") that originates in Sablé-sur-Sarthe, in Sarthe. When preparing it, the baker rubs cold butter into flour and sugar to form particles of dough that look like its namesake. In this savory version, all-purpose and almond flour-based dough is flavored with Parmesan and fennel seeds. The kneaded dough needs a short time to rise before it's rolled out, cut into breadstick-like shapes and baked until golden.
Ingredients
- 220 grams flour
- 50 grams almond flour
- 150 grams grated parmesan cheese
- 160 grams butter
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- ground black pepper
- salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Add the flours, cheese, butter, fennel, water, and a pinch each of black pepper and salt to a mixing bowl.
- Place all the ingredients in the mixer with two tablespoons of ice water, turn on the mixer for just long enough for the ingredients to begin coming together into a ball.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured work surface. Knead it quickly, shape it into a ball, cover it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for 1 hour.
- Roll the dough out onto the work surface to 1 centimeter thickness, flour it and cut it into sticks measuring 1 centimeter by 6 centimeters.
- Place the sticks on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Cut the sticks in half if you want to make smaller portions. I did not ignore the cold water instruction, because using cold water when mixing the ingredients will help make the crust flaky. I paired the shortbread sticks with a pizza a made, and fixed some marinara sauce for dipping. A quick marinara can be made using olive oil, crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, salt and oregano.
