Instructions
Prepare the Dough
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat until the butter is fully melted.
Add the flour and salt all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
