1 tablespoon flour |
Directions:
1. Place first 5 ingredients in a food processor.
2. Pulse until almost together.
3. Add 1/2 cup water.
4. Pulse a few times.
5. Add 1 T flour and pulse a few more times until dough comes together.
6. Divide dough into 8 oz.
7. portions.
8. Use one and place the other three in freezer bags.
