Piecrust

Makes 1 (9-inch) deep-dish crust

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups (313 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (198 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 7 to 8 tablespoons (105 to 120 grams) ice water

Instructions

  • In the work bowl of a food processor, place flour and salt; pulse until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly and butter is pea-size. With processor running, add 7 tablespoons (105 grams) ice water in a slow, steady stream just until dough comes together. (Mixture may appear crumbly. It should be moist and hold together when pinched.) Add additional 1 tablespoon (15 grams) ice water only if needed. Turn out dough, and shape into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Dough may be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Before using, let Pie Dough stand at room temperature until softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
