DIRECTIONS:
1. Add the almond and coconut flour into a food processor along with the salt and xanthan gum. Pulse briefly to combine.
2. Add 150 grams of cold butter cut into small cubes, the salt and rosemary. Pulse until a breadcrumb texture forms. Form a well and add one egg and the apple cider vinegar. Pull together and knead gently until a dough forms.
