Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups of unbleached white flour
  • 2½ teaspoons of baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of chili flakes
  • ½ teaspoon of dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons of fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, chili flakes, basil and rosemary.
  3. Chop the butter into chunks and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or a knife and fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the feta cheese, olives and sun-dried tomatoes.
