Equipment

  • large bowl
  • pastry cutter
  • Food Processor
  • sharp knife
  • bench scraper
  • Plastic Wrap
  • rolling pin

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 0.5 cup ice water plus more as needed

Instructions
 

Making the Dough

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt together. Add the cold cubed butter on top. Using a pastry cutter, food processor, or two forks, cut or pulse the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.
  • Drizzle the cold water over the surface of the flour mixture, 1 Tablespoon at a time, and stir after each addition until the dough comes together.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Using floured hands, gently bring the dough mixture together into a ball, then divide the dough in half and flatten each half into a 1-inch thick disc.
  • Wrap each disc tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Using the Dough

  • After refrigerating, roll out the dough using gentle force with your rolling pin. Start from the center and work your way out in all directions.
  • Use flour to prevent sticking as you roll out the dough.

Notes

Make Ahead Instructions: Prepare the pie dough through step 4 and freeze the discs for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
