Yield Makes enough for one 12-inch deep-dish pie

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup ice water

Steps:

  • Place flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor; process to combine. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup ice water in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube with the machine running, just until the dough holds together. Do not process for more than 30 seconds. Test dough by squeezing a small amount together; if it is still crumbly, add a bit more water.
  • Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Press into a flattened circle, and wrap in the plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

Tips:

  • To create the perfect deep-dish pâté brisée, use a food processor to blend the flour and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. Do not overwork the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and work quickly to prevent the dough from becoming warm and sticky.
  • To prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin, lightly flour the surface and the top of the dough.
  • If the dough becomes too warm and sticky, chill it for a few minutes before continuing to roll it out.
  • When transferring the dough to the pie plate, be careful not to stretch it. Gently ease the dough into the plate, pressing it into the corners and up the sides.
  • Trim the edges of the dough so that they are flush with the rim of the pie plate.
  • Before baking, chill the dough for at least 15 minutes to help prevent it from shrinking.
  • To prevent the bottom of the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before filling it.

Conclusion:
