Steps:
- Combine flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the oil and 5 tablespoons of ice cold water; don't mix the liquids together.
- Add liquids to the flour and salt mixture. Stir with a fork until a ball forms; add 1 tablespoon of ice water if it is very crumbly and not holding. It is okay if the dough is not totally cohesive (some crumbles may exist).
- Divide the dough into two equally sized balls. Place in an airtight container and let rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
- For one pie crust, place the dough ball between two pieces of wax paper. Use a rolling pin (I recommend using a marble one like this) to roll out until it reaches 12 inches in diameter.
- Carefully peel the top layer off of the wax paper. Invert the pie crust into a pie plate and carefully peel the wax paper off of the dough.
- Bake the pie dough according to pie recipe.

COCONUT OIL PIE CRUST
This is a butter/shortening-free pie crust. It is a bit healthier and just as tasty, flaky and buttery tasting. This makes 2 crusts and works for both sweet or savory pies. Just add 1 teaspoon sugar if you're making a sweet pie. Make sure to use refined coconut oil to hide the coconut taste. Unless of course you will use this for a coconut pie!

Tips:
- Use cold oil: Cold oil will help make a flakier crust. If you don't have cold oil available, freeze it for 15 minutes before using. You can also use frozen butter if you prefer.
- Cut the oil into small pieces: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the dough and make a more tender crust.
- Do not overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before rolling: Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll and will prevent it from shrinking.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before baking the pie crust. This will help ensure that the crust bakes evenly.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can make delicious oil-based pie crusts that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're making a savory pie or a sweet one, an oil-based crust is a great option. It's easy to make, flaky, and delicious. So next time you're in the mood for a pie, give an oil-based crust a try.
