How to Make Whole Wheat Pastry Crust
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup wheat germ in a large bowl.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk and 6-8 tablespoons ice water. Gradually add to the flour mixture, mixing gently until a ball forms. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for best results.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness and use to line your pie plate. Bake according to your pie recipe.
