Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 2/3 cup coconut oil, solid
- 3/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 5 tablespoons ice-cold water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F/205°C.
- Add flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
- Scoop coconut oil into the bowl.
- Using a pastry blender or a fork, blend until combined. Do not over mix.
- Pour in 5 tablespoons of ice water and stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
- Knead the dough to form into a ball.
- Transfer dough to a well-floured piece of parchment paper and flatten it out with your hands.
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut dough into the number of pieces required and set aside extra piece(s). (If you are making a standard 9″ pie then divide the dough into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other to line the pie pan, the other for the top.)
- Sprinkle flour on top of the dough.
- Roll dough into a flat circle about 1/8 inch thick. (To prevent sticking, sprinkle more flour over the dough as needed.)
- Line pie pan and fill with the desired filling.
- Repeat step 10 for the remaining piece(s) and place it on top of the pie.
- Bake for 30+ minutes (depending on filling).
