hi everyone :roll:
i am wanting to create a pie dough using extra light olive oil suitable mainly for savoury fillings, from meat to vegetable and curry mixes.
the challenge is to get a wholewheat dough that will roll out and be workable. also one that will work when baking (rather than turn out crumbly like my attempt so far)
would like to use at least 50% wholewheat flour and the remaining white wheat flour.
want to use NO eggs, butter, vegetable lard, or aluminium based baking powder.
have tried an attempt that turned out rather piecey and brake-up - i didn't work the dough for long though. i did freeze the olive oil so it was thick to use. mixed it with the flour and salt and a little bi-carb soda and cream of tartar.
anyone have any recommendations as to how to get such a dough that will bake a nice tasty pie crust that is soft on the inside, crispy and a little flakey on the outside?
thanks very much for any help
