Add the grated cheese in, 2 tbsp of whisked egg and 2 tbsp of cold water. Mix everything together with your hands untill you get smooth dough. No need to kneed for too long, and you have to work quick so that you don’t melt the butter with the warmth of your hands. Cut the dough in two parts, one size of a 2/3, other 1/3 and cover with the clear foil individually. Put the dough in the fridge for around 30 min to firm up a bit.

Step 9

Prepare the caserole dish. Roll out the bigger chunk of dough (2/3) with a rolling pin on a baking papper. Use the dish to eyeball the size and shape - you should be able to fill in the caserole dish bottom and sides.
