Time 4h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed and frozen for 20 minutes
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed and frozen for 20 minutes
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup ice water

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, butter, cream cheese, and salt in a food processor until you have flour-covered pea-sized pieces, about 15 quick pulses. Add water and process until all flour is dampened and dough clumps and almost comes together.
  • Crisscross 2 long pieces of plastic wrap to form an X and lightly dust with flour. Dump 1/2 of the dough into the center and wrap, pressing dough into a 3x4-inch block. Smooth wrapped surface with a rolling pin; flip and repeat. Repeat with remaining dough and more wrap.
  • Chill dough for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, or slip into zip-top plastic freezer bags and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using.
