- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast

- Roll out dough into a rectangle and encase cold butter between layers of parchment paper before placing it on half of the dough.
- Fold the dough over the butter and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll the chilled dough again and fold into thirds; repeat two more times to create layers.
- Mix ricotta, chopped pistachios, and dark chocolate chips in a bowl until well combined.
