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.
