Crust Ingredients

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough begins to come together. Do not overwork the dough.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit your pie or tart pan.

  6. 6

    Pre-bake the Crust

    Place the rolled-out dough in the pan, prick the bottom with a fork, and pre-bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
