    Ingredients

  • 375g plain white flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 125g unsalted butter, softened
  • 40ml water
  • 2 medium eggs, beaten in separate bowls
  • For the flavorings
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 40g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp sundried tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

    Directions

  1. Put the flour, salt, butter, water and 1 beaten egg into a bowl and mix well for 5 minutes.
  2. Divide the dough in half and add the poppy seeds to one and the cheese and tomato paste to the other.
  3. Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/10in thick. Place on a baking tray cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown, and then transfer onto a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cold.
