Yield Makes two 9-inch pie crusts

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces bar cream cheese
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon psyllium husk powder
2 1/4 teaspoons whole flax seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons whole chia seeds
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 1/4 cups rice-based gluten-free all-purpose flour*
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Cut the cream cheese and butter into 1/2-inch pieces, place in a bowl, and freeze for 15 minutes. Use a coffee or spice grinder or mortar and pestle to grind the psyllium, flax and chia seeds to a fine powder. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor along with the salt, baking powder, and flour. Pulse a few times to combine.
  • Add the butter and cream cheese and pulse until the texture of the crumbs resembles sand, about 20 seconds. While pulsing the food processor, add vinegar and then 3 tablespoons ice water. Squeeze a small amount of dough between your fingers; if it is very crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time (2 tablespoons maximum). Do not over process.
  • Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, and gather into a ball with your hands. Knead the dough a few times to create a uniform texture. Divide the dough in half and form each piece into a flat disk about 1 inch thick. Wrap each half tightly in plastic and refrigerate until dough is chilled and stiff, at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight). Roll, fill, and bake as desired.
  • DO AHEAD: Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator before using.

This pie crust is a bit more expensive than traditional pie crusts, but it's worth the extra cost.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crust turned out too thick and dense. I think I may have over-mixed the dough.
