Wholemeal Shortcrust Pastry

Wholemeal Shortcrust Pastry is a baked shortcrust-style pastry made from whole-wheat (wholemeal) flour and fat, commonly used for savory quiches and sweet pies in home and bakery cooking. It is known for a nuttier, denser texture than white-flour crusts and is often chosen to add whole-grain flavor to tarts and pies. As a pastry it is calorie-dense — about 450kcal per 100g — supplying most of its energy from fats and carbohydrates; the whole-wheat flour contributes some fiber and minerals compared with refined crusts, while protein is modest. Because it uses whole grain, it brings more fibre and trace minerals than a typical white pastry and contains a higher share of unsaturated fats, but it is still energy-rich and contains saturated fat, so portioning or lighter-fat recipes are advisable.Read more
