Worlds Easiest Pie Crust Vegan Food

VEGAN PIE CRUST

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• Pulse in the chunks of vegan butter until it forms a sandy texture. (This usually takes me 7-10 pulses.)
• Pulse in water, adding more as needed until it can form into a ball. To prevent it from being too sticky, add in a tablespoon of water at a time. If still dry and crumbly, add a bit more ice water.
• Split the dough into two halves, roll each into a ball, and press into discs.
• Wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
• Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. You can leave it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
• Sprinkle flour on the surface you'll be rolling the dough on. Then, sprinkle some on top of the dough as well so the rolling pin doesn't stick. Roll the dough out between two pieces of wax paper to make things easier!
• Roll out to fit the size of your pie dish. Place in the pie dish, then cut off the excess crust and crimp the edges.
• Bake per your pie recipe instructions.

WORLD'S EASIEST PIE CRUST - VEGAN

Steps:

• In a large bowl place all of the dry ingredients.
• Add Orange Juice and oil, mix with a fork
• Pat into 9-inch pan with fingertips. If pre-baked crust is desired bake at 425 for 10 -12 minutes.
• Note** Vegan sugar should be used for the best texture. It taste yummy with cane sugar or table sugar as well.

EASY VEGAN PIE CRUST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed vegan butter and cold water. Knead with your hands until the dough starts to clump together (or use a food processor). Then transfer to a working surface and continue kneading until a smooth dough forms.
• Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic foil and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• After the chill time, roll out the dough between two sheets of cling wrap or parchment paper a little larger than your pan (see step-by-step photos in the blog post). Then use the foil or parchment to lift it into a 10-inch (25,5cm) tart pan (or 9-inch pie dish). Remove foil and press the bottom and sides firmly to form an evenly tart shell. (If your baking pan has a different size, you can adjust the quantities of ingredients using my cake pan conversion converter).
• Cover the pie crust and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use or continue immediately with the desired recipe. (You can make the dough up to 5 days ahead of time or freeze it, *see recipe notes).
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Prick the bottom a few times with a fork, then line the crust with parchment paper and top with pie weights (such as dry rice, beans, or chickpeas, *see tip/note below).
• Blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove tart from the oven and carefully lift out the parchment paper with the weights. Return the tart to the oven and bake until the bottom crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes longer.
• Let the baked crust cool completely before adding the filling. Enjoy!

EASY VEGAN PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Add the almond flour, organic unbleached flour (may sub whole wheat pastry flour), tapioca flour, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
• Add 1/4 cup of water and the maple syrup(if using). Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir until everything is combined. Slowly add the next 2 Tbsp of water and mix until you reach the right consistency. If the dough still seems a little dry add 1 tsp. of water at a time. You want the dough to be damp, but not super sticky. Continue to use the spatula or spoon until you need to use your hands to finish the dough and shape it into a ball.
• Form the dough into a disc shape and place it on a lightly floured surface or piece of parchment paper. Cover the dough with another piece of parchment paper and roll it out until it's wide enough to cover your pie dish.
• Gently lift the dough and place it into the pie dish and begin to lightly press the dough into the dish. Trim off the edges and any broken pieces.
• Use right away or place in the fridge until you're ready to use it. Simply double the recipe if you have a recipe that calls for two pie crusts.
