- Add the butter evenly over the mixed flours and salt, optional. Pulse 6-8 times or until butter has broken down evenly into small pea-sized pieces. Remove the lid and pour the water over the mixture.
- Replace lid and pulse an additional 12-14 times or until dough starts to come together. Remove to a piece of parchment paper and knead until smooth and pliable.
