How to Make Cheddar Rosemary Pastry

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped.
  5. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
  8. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate.
  9. Add your favorite filling (pear or apple - recipe not included).
  10. Fold the edges of the crust over the filling and crimp to seal.
  11. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  13. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
