A while ago I had some friends over for dinner and we were talking about pie, I don’t know why…all my conversations end up being about food. I had to admit I had never made a pie. I love desserts, make them all the time. And I love cooking, I don’t know how it had happened that I never made a pie crust. Weird…any who…I thought I would try making a homemade whole wheat pie crust. It was a lot easier then I thought it would be. I wrote down the recipe but for the life of me can’t remember where I got it from. But its fairly simple. I did it by hand, next time I will use a food processor to combine the dough.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I use bob’s red mill)
- 1/3 cup cold butter
- 1/4 cup sea salt
- about 4 tbs of water
Equipment:
- food processor or bowl
- rolling pin
In a bowl or food processor, mix the flour and salt.
Cut in the butter either by hand or by food processor
Add water 1 TBS at a time until the dough starts to come together. If you are using the food processor, process until the dough forms a ball. If by hand need the dough until it forms a ball. But don’t overwork the dough.
Roll into you desired shape, round or rectangular. I made rectangular because I made a large pot pie in a casserole dish 
And done, easy enough. I won’t be buying store bought pie crusts anymore.
