Preparation

In the bowl of a stand mixer at low speed, add the flour and salt then combine. Add the butter and mix for 1 minute to obtain a grainy texture.
Incorporate the water and keep on mixing for another minute. Form a ball using your hands then lightly flour. Wrap in plastic then place in fridge for 1 hour. Split in half then roll down!
