Description
With just 5 ingredients including water and salt, coconut oil pie crust is a great easy vegan pastry option – no chilling time needed. Use plain or spelt flour. This makes enough for one double-crust pie. For a galette, halve the recipe.
Ingredients
- 375 grams (2 ½ cups) light spelt flour or white flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar white, cane, coconut, etc.
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 80 grams (⅓ cup) solid coconut oil
- 4-6 tablespoons ice water
Instructions
- Add the flour, sugar, and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine.375 grams (2 ½ cups) light spelt flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Rub in the coconut oil with your fingers until the mixture resembles large crumbs. Add the water a tablespoon at a time, stirring briefly between each addition, until the dough holds together when pressed. You might not need all of the water.80 grams (⅓ cup) solid coconut oil, 4-6 tablespoons ice water
- Form the dough into two discs and wrap in beeswax wrap or damp tea towels. If you have neither, simply cover with an inverted bowl. Set aside while you prepare your pie filling (about 10 minutes resting time is enough for this dough).
- Lightly flour a work surface and roll a disc of dough out to about 3mm (⅙-inch) thickness, turning frequently to help round it out.
- Place the pastry into a pie dish, letting it relax into the shape of the dish, before carefully lifting the edges and lightly pressing the dough into the corners of the dish. Make sure you have a 3cm (~1-inch) overhang around the edges of the dish for crimping.
- For a single crust pie, simply trim the edges with kitchen shears and crimp or decorated as desired before filling and baking as instructed.
- For a double crust pie, fill as desired. Roll out the other disc of dough, then either lay it over the filling or cut strips for a lattice crust. Trim the edges, roll the edges of both crusts together, and use your fingers and thumbs to crimp together. Cut holes in the top crust for venting, and bake as instructed.
