Scrape bowl down. Add remaining cup of flour and give 4-6 quick pulses. Sprinkle vodka and water over mixture. Use spatula to combine until dough clings to itself. Divide dough into two balls, flatten into two ~4 in disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and let rest in refrigerator at least 5 minutes, and up to 2 days before rolling out.
