HEALTHY PIE CRUST



Healthy Pie Crust image

Learn how to make an easy and healthy pie crust that uses no oil or butter. This naturally vegan and oil-free pie crust is really easy to handle. It won't melt when you're working with it and won't shrink when you bake it. Use it to make sweet or savoury pies with cooked or no-cook fillings, tarts, quiches and galettes.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ cups / (140 grams) almond flour (, (in the UK ground almonds))
¾ cup / ( 94 grams) all purpose flour or wholewheat flour (, or gluten free all purpose flour )
½ teaspoon salt
7 to 8 tablespoons non-dairy milk of choice (, unsweetened and unflavoured)
2 tablespoons unrefined cane sugar (, or white sugar)

Steps:

  • To a bowl, add the almond flour, all purpose flour and salt. Whisk them together to combine.
  • Gradually add the milk, stirring as you go. You might not need it all. You might need a tiny bit more. It varies a little everytime. Once it starts looking clumpy, get a clean hand in there and feel it. You need to use just enough milk so the dough holds its shape when you squeeze it together in your hand, feels supple and will be easily rollable. Bring the dough together into a ball.
  • At this stage you can either roll out the pastry with a rolling pin or just press it into your dish or pan with your hands. Unlike regular pastry dough, because there is no solid fat in this recipe, it doesn't matter if you handle it a lot.
  • If rolling it out, transfer to a clean, well-floured surface. If you have a silicone baking mat they work really well for rolling pastry dough out on.
  • Roll it out to 2 or 3 inches larger than your pie/quiche/tart dish. Sprinkle with flour as needed to stop any sticking.
  • Lift carefully by partially rolling the rolled out pastry around the rolling pin, and gently lower into the dish. Press into the dish gently then trim around the edges with a sharp knife or crimp if you are lining a pie dish.
  • Prick all over the bottom of the crust with a fork

THE HEALTHY PIE CRUST



The Healthy Pie Crust image

Found on veganmania.com I used this in a cheese & sausage quiche, and it was good! This will definitely be my staple pie crust from now on... No more frozen store-brought ones :] Also, you can lower the amount of ingredients in this- this crust is kinda thick.

Categories     Dessert

Time 6m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (Heh, I didn't use pastry.. I just used regular..)
3/4 cup unbleached flour
1/4 cup natural corn oil (I just used canola, and a bit less than 1/4 cup)
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup ice water (Not sure what original recipe meant by that, so I just used semi-cold water. Worked fine.)

Steps:

  • Stir the flours together in a small bowl and freeze for one hour. Freeze the oil in a separate container for an hour also. Remove both from freezer and mix the oil into the flour until it makes a crumbly dough.
  • Stir the salt into the ice water and mix the water into the dough. Mix only enough to bind the dough. If it's too dry, add more water, a little at at time.
  • I found it easiest to simply place the ball of dough into the pan, and squish it around with my hand -- Bake as directed for whatever recipe your using.
