Whole Wheat Oil Pastry Dough

By krystallondon

Makes enough dough for one 9-inch (23 cm) double-crust pie or two 9-inch (23 cm) single-crust pies.

For a Savory Crust omit the sugar.

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup cold milk or soy milk
• Use a light-flavored oil, such as canola oil. Olive oil would not make a good replacement unless you're making a savory pie.

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, combine pastry flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt. Mixing well. Add oil and milk, stirring just until combined. If dough is too dry and crumbly, add 1 to 2 tsp more milk. Press mixture into 2 balls, one slightly larger than the other if making a double-crust pie or equal -sized for 2 single crust pies, flattening each into a disk. Do not chill.
