3. Add to the flour mixture and mix in a food processor. The dough should be very soft and sticky. Lightly flour a large piece of plastic wrap, then place the dough on it and shape into a rectangle about 2.5 cm thick. Wrap it up and refrigerate for about 2 hours or overnight. Meanwhile, prepare the topping, if using, by combining sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
