Dough for Erbazzone

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes about a pound of dough, for 1 erbazzone

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for working
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

A food processor

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put the 2 cups flour and the salt in the food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse a few seconds to aerate. Mix the oil with 1/3 cup cold water in a spouted measuring cup. With the processor running, pour the liquid through the feed tube and process about 30 seconds, until a soft dough forms and gathers on the blade. If the dough is not gathering on the blade, it is probably too dry. Add more water, in small amounts, until you have a smooth, very soft dough.

    Step 2

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead by hand for a minute, until it’s smooth and soft. Pat into a rectangle, and wrap in plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature for 1/2 hour. (The dough can be refrigerated for up to a day, or frozen for a month or more. Defrost in the refrigerator, and return to room temperature before rolling.)
