Tart Dough

Ingredients

1Ā 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup coarsely chopped chives, rosemary, or thyme (optional)
9 tablespoons (1Ā 1/8 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, beaten
3 tablespoons ice water

Preparation

  1. Process the flour, salt, and herbs (if using) in a food processor until combined. Add the butter, and process just until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together the egg mixture and the water in a small bowl. With the processor running, pour in the egg mixture; process until the dough starts to come together. Shape the dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
