- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 3–4 tbsp ice water
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the crust, combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter until coarse crumbs form. Add ice water a tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
