Directions:
1. Process 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, and sugar in food processor until combined, about 2 one-second pulses.

seconds (dough will resemble cottage cheese curds and there should be no uncoated flour).
3. Scrape bowl with rubber spatula and redistribute dough evenly around processor blade.
4. Add remaining cup flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed around bowl and mass of dough has been broken
up, 4 to 6 quick pulses.
5. Empty mixture into medium bowl.

dough is slightly tacky and sticks together.
7. Divide dough into two even balls and flatten each into 4-inch disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 45
minutes or up to 2 days.
