Directions

Step 1

Step 3

Reduce the speed to low and add the flours and tapioca starch in slowly.

Beat until combined.

Step 5

Take two sheets of baking paper, the size of a large baking tray and sandwich the dough in-between them, then use a rolling pin to roll the dough to aout 5mm thick.

Step 9

You can re-roll and cut this dough as much as you like but will need to chill it again.
