Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups olive oil
- 6 tablespoons ice water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.
Step 2
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil.
Step 3
Using a fork or your fingers, mix the olive oil into the flour mixture until it resembles a sandy, crumbly texture.
Step 4
Add the ice water to the mixture one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork after each addition. Continue adding water until the dough just comes together and holds its shape when pressed. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and gently gather it into a disc. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
Step 6
When ready to use, lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the chilled dough to your desired size and thickness, rotating frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Transfer the rolled-out dough to your pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges if desired.
Step 8
Fill and bake as directed in your chosen pie recipe.
