How to Make Whole Wheat Canola Oil Pastry

  1. Whisk together 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  2. Pour in 1 cup canola oil.
  3. Stir with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually drizzle in 6-8 tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Gather the pastry dough into a ball. Place between two sheets of parchment paper (or use the inside of a clean cereal box!) and roll out to a 13-inch circle.
  6. Carefully transfer the pastry to a 9-inch pie plate. Gently press it into the bottom and up the sides, patching any cracks as needed.
  7. Trim the excess pastry from the edges and crimp with the tines of a fork for a decorative finish.
