Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed. 4-6 tablespoons ice water.
Instructions: In a food processor, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough starts to come together. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375F 190C. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim any excess dough from the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles. Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before filling with your desired pie filling.
