Almond Tart Dough

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes enough for one 13 1/2 x 4-inch

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons whole almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons ice water

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a food processor, pulse the flour, almonds, sesame seeds, salt, and spices. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With the machine running, add the egg yolk and ice water through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream. Process until the dough just comes together (do not overprocess).

    Step 2

    Turn out the dough onto a clean work surface. Flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic; chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
