This recipe uses unsalted pistachios.
Mix the dry ingredients, minus the powdered sugar, in a large bowl.

Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan until room temperature. Then add it to the bowl with the dry ingredients, and knead well until you get a smooth dough. Let it rise under a kitchen towel for approx. 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 225º C top and bottom heat.

Roll out the dough into a large square of approx. 40 x 40 cm.
