Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cup (190 grams) whole wheat pastry flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cold
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, cold
  • ¼ cup ice water

Instructions

  2. Pulse until combined.
  3. Add in cream cheese and pulse 5 times.
  4. Add in butter and pulse 7 times.
  5. With the motor running pour in the water and pulse until the dough forms together into a mostly cohesive ball.
  6. You can roll the dough immediately, but you must let it chill before baking for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator or 30 minutes in the freezer. Or you can wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it for up to 2 days in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.
