How to Make Yeasted Olive Oil Pastry

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F). Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and let stand until creamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Beat in 1 large egg and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  6. Avoid overkneading.
  7. Shape the dough into a ball.
  8. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  9. Gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a couple of times.
  10. For a galette, use the entire dough. For a double-crust pie, divide the dough in half.
  11. Shape each piece into a ball, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  12. Roll out the dough into thin rounds (as needed for your recipe or to line oiled pans).
  13. If not using immediately, freeze the dough to prevent over-rising. The dough can be transferred directly from the freezer to the oven.
  14. Bake according to your chosen recipe.
