Recipe

Ingredients

¾ cup spelt flour
½ cup brown-rice flour
¼ cup potato starch
½ tsp sea salt
100g butter, cut into cubes
1 egg, beaten
Approx. 2 tbsp cold water
50g cheddar cheese, grated

Method

Line baking tray with baking paper and set aside. Preheat oven to 200°C.
To prepare pastry, place spelt, brown-rice flour, potato starch and salt in bowl with butter. Using fingertips, rub butter into flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Add egg and cold water and mix together until a dough is formed. If necessary add a few more tbsp of extra cold water, so that the dough just comes together and isn’t dry.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and place in fridge to set for 30 mins
Remove pastry dough from fridge and roll out between 2 sheets of baking paper, trying to keep it in a rectangular shape. Cut pastry into long thin strips lengthways and then cut each strip into 4 segments. Sprinkle cheese onto each pastry piece and gently twist pastry and place onto baking tray. Continue this process with all strips of pastry.
Bake for 20 mins until golden brown and crispy.
