WHOLE WHEAT PIE CRUST WITH OATS

Whole Wheat Pie Crust with Oats image

This is our favorite whole wheat pie crust. Flaky, buttery, and delicious. My children actually like this much better than any other pie crust. It has more flavor, more texture, and more crispness-and it is much more nutritious. We love it with any pie, especially turkey pot pie, pumpkin pie, and apple pie.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats
¾ cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup cold butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons very cold water, or more if needed

Steps:

Place oats in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely ground.
Transfer ground oats to a medium bowl; stir in flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons water. Blend with a fork until mixture holds together, adding up to 1 tablespoon more water if necessary.
With minimal shaping, form dough into a ball and place on a lightly floured sheet of waxed paper. Place another sheet of waxed paper on top and roll dough into a 1/8-inch thick circle large enough to fit a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. (This dough breaks more easily than a white flour dough; the wax paper helps with that.)
Remove top sheet of waxed paper and invert dough into the pie plate. Slowly peel away remaining sheet of waxed paper and trim any excess crust. Turn dough edge under and crimp as desired.
Crust is ready to fill. See notes if your recipe requires a pre-baked crust.

100% WHOLE WHEAT GRAHAM CRACKERS OR PIE CRUST

100% Whole Wheat Graham Crackers or Pie Crust image

I couldn't find the perfect 100% whole wheat graham recipe so I made one. These are highly popular with kids and come together very quickly. You can replace a little of the flour with milled flax, wheat germ, oat bran, or whatever you like. And you can make chocolate grahams by adding 1/3 cup cocoa. Crunch them up to make graham crumbs, which are useful for a lot of things. ALSO, this recipe makes an AMAZING pie crust. Please NOTE: The instructions below are specific about rolling these out very thin, and baking until crisp. If you end up with anything but crisp crackers, they weren't rolled thin enough, and/or they weren't baked long enough.

Time 25m

Yield 60 crackers, 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup turbinado sugar (sucanat or brown sugar would work too)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter (melted)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt butter in microwave or on stovetop.
Mix together dry ingredients (first 6 ingredients).
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until the dough forms a ball. Add a little water if needed.
Line two jelly roll pans with parchment paper or Silpat.
Put half the dough on each pan and gently flatten out with a rolling pin, covering the pan (Depending on the size of your pan, you may not completely cover it. Just roll them out to desired thickness. These don't puff up much, so what you roll out is very nearly what you end up with.).
Gently score the crackers into rectangles with a pizza or pasta cutter.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and just beginning to brown.
Let cool on a wire rack.
