Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Italian Pastry Dough for Pasta Frolla.
Step 1
To start your delicious baking adventure, grab a large mixing bowl and pour in the flour.

Create a cozy little well in the center, like a nest waiting for its ingredients.
Step 3
Crack the eggs right into that well, then sprinkle in 3/4 cup of superfine sugar along with the fragrant zest of a lemon.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to get your hands in there! Gently mix the ingredients by moving your hands in circular motions, gradually bringing the flour into the mix until a lovely dough begins to form.

Next, add in the cubed cold butter—this is 1 stick plus 5 tablespoons—along with the baking powder.
Step 6
With a bit of enthusiasm, knead the dough with your hands until it transforms into a smooth ball, feeling soft and inviting.
Step 7
Once you’ve achieved that perfect texture, wrap the dough snugly in plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
