Ingredients
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 tbsp cornmeal
• ½ tsp sugar
• ½ tsp black pepper (freshly milled)
• 3 tbsp cold butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp cold water
• Toppings of choice (ie sesame seeds, cumin seeds, salt and rosemary, black pepper and parmesan)
1. Sieve flour into a
electric mixer bowl. Add cornmeal, salt, sugar and pepper. Pulse to combine.
2. Add the butter and mix in short bursts to make a breadcrumb-like mix. Add the oil and water slowly with short bursts on the mixer to combine.
3. Run hands under a cold tap to cool, dry quickly, turn out dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead for 30 seconds. Bring the dough together into one ball and flatten with the heel of your hand. Place in a bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
