ingredients
 

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, solid
  • 3-5 tablespoons iced water

instructions
 

Make the dough

  • Add the flour and salt into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add chunks of solid coconut oil, then use a fork or a pastry cutter to slice the fat into the flour until you reach a crumbly texture.
  • Start adding iced water one tablespoon at a time, while gently mixing the dough with a fork. Keep adding the water until the pie dough starts to clump together, but stop before it gets too wet or sticky.

Chill the dough

  • Lay out a piece of plastic foil on your countertop, dump the dough in the centre and then wrap the dough very tightly into a flat disk. Press it down with your hands until the plastic wrap expands.
  • Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours.

Roll the dough

  • Unwrap the chilled vegan pie dough and place it on a floured surface. Start rolling from the centre of the dough out to the edges. Roll it in different directions to create a circular shape. Roll out the dough until it is about 2 inches larger than your pie plate.
  • Gently lift the dough from your work surface using a metal spatula and transfer it to the pie plate.
  • Make sure the dough lays flush with your pie plate, and leave 1 inch (2.5cm) of excess dough for folding and fluting the edges.
  • Using your fingers, mend any cracks by lightly pinching them together and then smoothing them out.

Flute the edges

  • Start by slowly folding the excess dough under itself to make a smooth, clean edge, folded on the rim of your pie plate. Then, using your thumbs and index fingers, pinch or flute the edge of the pie crust.
  • If this seems too complicated or time-consuming for your taste, simply use a fork to press into the edges of the crust for a decorative effect.
  • Refrigerate the pie crust or freeze it until you're ready to use it.
