Instructions

3. Add flour, cold butter, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix 15 sec / Speed 5 until a crumbly mixture forms.
4. If the mixture is too dry to form a dough, add 20-30 g ice-cold water and mix 10 sec / Speed 4 until a dough ball forms. Alternatively, use Knead mode for 30 seconds if preferred.
5. Remove dough from the bowl, flatten slightly into a disc, wrap in cling film, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2-3 mm. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut into desired cracker shapes.
