I love making homemade pie dough. It’s one of those recipes that can feel intimidating until you try it yourself, and I’m here to make it easier for you! You need a few simple ingredients and you can even make a few batches and freeze them for a rainy day, or if you’re like me, for a warm day when all the summer produce is in its peak season!
This recipe makes enough for one crust, which is perfect for a crostata or galette. Double the recipe to make a pie with a top and bottom crust. You’ll notice I share a range of measurements for both the amount of flour and ice water in this recipe. Start with the lower end of the range for each: 1 and 1/4 cups of flour and 3 tablespoons of ice water. From there, you can always add more. If the dough is feeling a bit dry and crumbly, add a bit more ice water. If the dough is feeling too sticky and wet, gradually add a bit more flour. Once shaped, pop dough into the freezer for 30 minutes, or the fridge for an hour before rolling out to use.
Homemade pie dough is easy as, well...pie! Make this trusted recipe and add your favorite sweet or savory ingredients as the filling.
