Directions

1. 1
   Attach multipurpose blade to KitchenAid(R) 7 Cup Food Processor. Place flour and salt in work bowl and pulse 3 to 4 times to combine. Add cubed butter and pulse 3 to 4 times. Drizzle egg and 1/4 cup water over flour. Pulse until a coarse dough forms. Add remaining water, if necessary, to achieve texture. Knead on lightly floured surface about 1 minute until smooth. Divide into 2 pieces, wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour.
2. 2
   Attach clean multipurpose blade and work bowl to food processor. Add onion and garlic and pulse 4 to 5 times until chopped. Remove from bowl and set aside. Add chicken to work bowl and pulse 3 to 4 times to chop, but do not over process. Remove from bowl and set aside.

   Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and saute 3 to 4 minutes or until beginning to brown. Add cumin, smoked paprika and bay leaf to skillet and continue cooking 1 minute. Add chopped chicken, tomato paste and chicken stock to skillet and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Chicken mixture should be juicy. Stir in chopped cilantro. Transfer to bowl and chill at least 1 hour.

   Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough, 1 piece at a time, on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into 4-inch rounds. Gather scraps and re-roll to get as many pieces as possible. Repeat with remaining ball of dough.
