Preparation
Step 1
Step 1: To make the dough in a stand mixer
Combine the three flours, chia seeds and salt. Add the extra virgin coconut oil, one tablespoon at a time and mix on medium speed until crumbles form. Add the whole egg (but not the egg white) and continue to mix, until egg is well blended into the flour mixture. Keeping the mixer on, add one tablespoon of water at a time, until the dough detaches from the bowl. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, and wrap in a cheese cloth (Note: we use cheese cloth as a safer alternative to plastic wrap). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 1: To make the dough by hand.
To make the dough by hand, combine the three flours, chia seeds and salt and mix with a pastry blender (I like Cuisipro Pastry Blender) or your clean fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add whole egg (but not the egg white) and continue mixing until egg is well blended into the flour mixture. Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time and mix until the dough comes together and is no longer dry, being careful not to over-mix. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in a cheese cloth (Note: we use cheese cloth as a safer alternative to plastic wrap). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 2: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Step 3: Clear a large work surface and lightly dust with brown rice flour. Roll out the dough to an 11-inch circle and then fit it into a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom and trim the edges. (Alternatively, a 9-inch pie pan can be used.) Use your fingertips to press the dough into the tart mold/ pie dish and use a fork to poke small holes all over the bottom. Cover the dough with parchment paper and top it with pie weights or dried beans.
Step 4: Prebake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights and brush the crust with the egg white. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, leaving the oven on, and proceed to making the quiche.
