Best Whole Wheat Canola Oil Pastry Recipes

HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT OIL PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Combine flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the oil and 5 tablespoons of ice cold water; don't mix the liquids together.
• Add liquids to the flour and salt mixture. Stir with a fork until a ball forms; add 1 tablespoon of ice water if it is very crumbly and not holding. It is okay if the dough is not totally cohesive (some crumbles may exist).
• Divide the dough into two equally sized balls. Place in an airtight container and let rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
• For one pie crust, place the dough ball between two pieces of wax paper. Use a rolling pin (I recommend using a marble one like this) to roll out until it reaches 12 inches in diameter.
• Carefully peel the top layer off of the wax paper. Invert the pie crust into a pie plate and carefully peel the wax paper off of the dough.
• Bake the pie dough according to pie recipe.

WHOLE WHEAT CANOLA OIL PASTRY

Steps:

• Whisk flour& salt together.
• Pour in oil; stir with fork to form a crumbly paste.
• Drizzle in water, 1 tbsp at a time, stirring with fork just until pastry clumps together.
• Gather pastry together& place between sheets of waxed paper- I save the insides of cereal boxes for this purpose- roll out to a 13 inch circle.
• Fit pastry into a 9 inch pie plate, pressing& patching as necessary; trim edges& press with tines of a fork.

WHOLE WHEAT OLIVE OIL PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Place olive oil in the freezer until it solidifies and is of a consistency similar to thick honey. (I checked it every 30 minutes or so. I'm not sure how long it took. Probably 3 or 4 hours.).
• Once the olive oil solidifies place flour, salt and baking powder into a food processor and pulse a few times to mix. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until a dough ball forms. Place ball in an air tight container or plastic wrap and put in the fridge for an hour or so to chill. (I left it overnight).
• Roll ball out until 1/8 inch thick and put into a pie plate. Use as you would a regular pie crust. I prebaked it before adding the quiche filling.

OIL PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt together. Pour milk and oil into one measuring cup, do not stir, and add all at once to flour. Stir until mixed, and shape into 2 flat balls. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or more.
• Roll out on lightly floured surface.
