Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup water at room temperature (plus more as needed)
  • Flaky salt for topping optional

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and butter. Use a fork to combine until the mixture resembles crumbs. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms and is no longer sticky. If it remains dry after adding 1/3 cup, keep adding small amounts of water until the dough comes together.

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet. Use a pizza cutter to slice it into squares. Prick the dough all over with a fork to prevent bubbling, and optionally, sprinkle some flaky salt on top.
