Sprouted Wheat Pie Crust image

This is a real food, no-fail staple that can be made with spelt, whole wheat, or sprouted wheat. When using sprouted wheat, you may need to add more water to make the desired consistency. I like to make pie crusts ahead of time and freeze them. This recipe makes one crust and lattice for the top. Doubling the recipe will give you three crusts.
