My motto is cooking should be simple and delicious. And recipes should be versatile, so swapping ingredients is easy. Any firm cheese you can grate will work, and so will regular flour.
If you have a food processor, this recipe comes together in minutes, can be made ahead and kept in the fridge, or frozen to use later.
I love keeping a dough log in the freezer for spontaneous entertaining or a Sunday Funday treat.
