What does "brissé" mean as in "masa brissé salada"

Question

Have found several recipes online that call for a dough "masa brissé salada". One recipe for the actual dough says:-

Esta masa resulta ideal para utilizar como base de cualquier tipo de tartas saladas o quiche.

Have searched in online dictionaries but none offers a translation of "brissé".

Answer 1

I don't know the English or the Spanish word for it (maybe it's brissé ) but I'm guessing that your recipe is referring to the layered crumbly dough that is used to make crossaints, beef wellington, sausage rolls and pies and bakes.

Answer 2

"brissé" has no translation in spanish. Is a french word that means "worn away". "Masa brissé" is just the name of a kind of dough used to prepare cakes.

Thanks for responding, I couldn't accept two answers so flagged the first as they both seemed very similar. - kenwoodlad, Apr 20, 2011
