Oil Pie Crust

This oil pie crust recipe will undoubtedly have you reaching for a second slice, simply out of indulgence because it is so flaky and delicious!

    Ingredients

    • 35 g (1/4 cup) flaxseed
    • 1 ml (1/4 teaspoon) salt
    • 200 g (1 cup) olive oil
    • 320 g (1 1/3 cups) cold water
    • 1 medium egg (45g) (you can omit the egg for the vegan version)

    Instructions

    1

    Finely grind the flaxseed in a coffee grinder. In a large bowl, combine flour, ground flax and salt.

    2

    In another bowl, beat together the oil, water and egg. You can use a fork, a whisk or a stand mixer. What matters most in making a successful oil pie dough, is that the water and oil are very well emulsified.

     

    3

    Make a well in the centre of the flour, pour in the liquid mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon.

     

    4

    Cover the dough and refrigerate for a minimum of three to four hours (ideally overnight).

    5

    Divide the dough and flour the balls before flattening them, so that they are not sticky.

    6

    Gently roll out each ball on a floured surface on one side only, without turning the dough over.

    7

    If you need to move it, do so gently, lifting it gently and flouring the surface and rolling pin again. Always make sure the dough doesn’t stick.

    8

    Fold the dough in half, gently place it on the pie plate and then unfold it.

    9

    Bake at 350°F on the bottom rack, until golden.
