Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Bleu Cheese

    Gently fold in the crumbled bleu cheese until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Combine with Water

    Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

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

  5. 5

    Roll Out

    Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your desired pie or tart pan.

  6. 6

    Pre-Bake (Optional)

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, blind bake the crust for 10-15 minutes before adding your filling.
