How to Make Whole Wheat Olive Oil Pie Crust

Freeze 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil until solid, resembling thick honey.
Combine 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder in a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
Add the frozen olive oil to the food processor. Add 1/2 cup ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until a dough ball forms. Do not over-process.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
Trim and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
For a quiche, pre-bake the crust for 12-15 minutes at 375°F (190°C) before adding your favorite quiche filling and baking according to your quiche recipe.
