How to Prepare Paleo Vegan Pie Crust [Vegan]
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, and coconut sugar.
- Cut the coconut oil into the dry ingredients until it resembles clumpy sand. Add 5 tablespoons of chilled water and mix until the dough is thick. If needed, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to help with the mixing process. You should be able to form the dough into a sticky ball.
- Form the dough ball into a disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill the dough for 1 hour. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before rolling it out.
- Place the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to a circle about 12 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick. Smooth out any cracks with your fingers and continue rolling until smooth. Carefully place the dough in a 9-inch pie or tart pan by removing the top sheet of parchment and gently flipping the dough over into the pan using the bottom sheet. Remove the bottom sheet, now on top, trim off any crust overhanging the edge of the pan, and then crimp the edge of the crust with your fingers or a fork. Use the crust as directed in the recipe you are making; if the recipe requires the crust to be blind baked before being filled, complete Steps 5 through 7.
- To blind bake the crust, preheat the oven to 350ºF and use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust in several places. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 15 minutes while the oven preheats.
- When the oven is ready, lay a piece of parchment paper over the crust and place a handful of pie weights on top of the paper. For a pre-baked crust, bake for 20 minutes, until it is fully baked and slightly golden; for a partially baked, or par-baked, crust, bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until it no longer looks raw and is slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before filling.
