Method

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1⅔ cups (208 g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ¼ tsp. baking powder.

  2. Add 2 oz. (56 g) chilled cream cheese, cut into 1 pieces, and rub into the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.

  3. Add 10 Tbsp. (140 g) chilled unsalted butter, sliced ½ thick, and toss to coat in flour. Smash the butter into smaller, flatter pieces.

  4. Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in ¼ cup (60 g) ice water. Toss the mixture with a fork or your hands to distribute, then knead in the bowl a couple of times to bring the dough together.

  5. Turn out the dough onto a surface lightly dusted with rice flour or all-purpose flour. Dust the top of the dough with flour and roll it out to a ½-thick rectangle.

  6. Fold the dough in half, rotate it 90°, and fold it in half again. Roll it out again to a ½-thick rectangle and repeat the folding process, dusting with more flour as needed.

  7. Pat the dough into a ½-thick disk and wrap it tightly in plastic. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably up to 12 hours.
