Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 2/3 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 8 tbsp milk

Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 pie dish
  • 1 pastry cutter or fork
  • wax paper

Method
 

  1. Mix the flour and salt in a mixing bowl.
    2. Cut the oil into the flour/salt mixture with a pastry cutter.
    3. Add the milk, and mix until it's all combined.
    4. Roll half the dough between sheets of wax paper (to avoid sticking to the rolling pin).
    5. Peel the top sheet of wax paper off the rolled dough and flip the crust over into the pan. Remove remaining sheet of wax paper.
    6. After you've filled your pie crust, repeat this rolling process for the other half of the dough.
    7. Seal edges of crusts and cut 1 inch slits on top.
    8. Bake as required, depending on the kind of pie your are baking.
    TIP: For an olive oil crust its best to keep heat at 350 degrees or below. Cover edges to prevent burning.
