Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.75 tsp fine sea salt
- 0.5 cup cold water
- 0.5 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp zaatar spice blend
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
- Cut in Butter. Incorporate the chilled, cubed butter using fingertips or a pastry cutter. Work it until the mixture resembles coarse sand with a few pea sized lumps remaining. Note: Don't overmix or the butter will melt, and you'll lose the flake.
- Add Water. Gradually stir in cold water until a shaggy dough forms. It should just barely hold together.
- The Critical Rest. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This relaxes the gluten so the dough doesn't shrink.
- Preheat and Prep. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Divide the chilled dough into four equal portions.
- Roll it Thin. On parchment paper, roll each portion until nearly translucent (about 1/8 inch thick). You should almost be able to see the paper through the dough.
- Bind the Toppings. Lightly brush the surface with a tiny amount of water or olive oil.
- Apply Flavors. Evenly sprinkle one of the four flavor blends (Parmesan, Everything, Garlic/Parsley, or Zaatar) onto each of the four dough sections.
- Score the Dough. Use a pizza cutter to score the dough into rectangles or squares. You don't need to cut all the way through to the paper.
- The Precision Bake. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden brown and crisp. You'll know they're done when the edges start to curl slightly and the cheese smells toasted.
