- ice water5 tablespoons
- salt1 teaspoon
- onions, thinly sliced2 medium
- cooked beets, sliced thin2 cups
- feta cheese3/4 cup
- olive oil2 tablespoons

- 2Chill the dough for 10 minutes while you cook the onions in olive oil until deeply golden and sweet.
- 3Stir balsamic vinegar into the onions and let them cool slightly.
- 4Roll the dough into a rough circle on parchment and mound the onions in the center, leaving a wide border.
- 5Layer beet slices over the onions, sprinkle with feta and dill, then cut strips around the edge and fold them over in a braid-like pattern.
- 6Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 23 to 28 minutes until the crust is crisp and browned.

Tips
- Keep the butter cold for the flakiest crust.
- If the beets are very moist, pat them dry so the pastry does not get soggy.
