Ingredients

• Servings: 10

• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 14 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 1/2 cups)
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2/3 cup water
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Recipe

• 1 whisk together salt, sugar, and flour.
• 2 in another bowl, beat egg, 2 tbsp melted butter and water.
• 3 pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients all at once. stir together with a clean hand. once dough is fully combined, turn out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and glossy. cut dough into thirds. cover with a towel and let rest 30 minutes.
• 4 brush the underside of a half-sheet baking pan liberally with butter. press one dough ball into the center of the pan and roll out until it covers about 2/3 of the pan. carefully stretch dough all the way around the pan, pulling it over the edge and pressing into place.
• 5 bake on the middle rack of a preheated 375°f oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. if baking more than one sheet at a time, rotate top-to-bottom and front-to-back halfway through. if baking one sheet at a time, be sure sheet pan is fully cool before prepping the next dough ball. cool completely on a rack. break into shapes and serve.
