Double-Crust Pie Dough

4 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

  1. 1
    In a food processor, whirl together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse into pea-size pieces. Drizzle 2/3 cup very cold water over crumbs and pulse just until evenly moistened. Turn dough out onto a work surface and gather into a ball, turning dough to combine any dry crumbs.
  2. 2
    Wrap dough in plastic wrap, then press into a disk about 1 in. thick. Chill dough at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
  3. 3
    Set dough on a lightly floured work surface and divide in half. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll 1 half to form a round 1/8 in. thick and at least 14 in. wide; lift and turn dough occasionally, dusting underneath with more flour.
  4. 4
    Fold dough round in half, lift gently without stretching, and lay folded edge across center of a 9 1/2- to 10-in. deep-dish pie pan. Unfold and ease dough into pan. Trim edge evenly 1 in. beyond pan rim; discard scraps. Fold edge under itself so it's flush with and resting on top of rim.
  5. 5
    For a lattice top: On a piece of parchment paper, roll out remaining half of dough the same way. Cut dough into strips 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. wide. Transfer strips on parchment to a large plate and chill.
  6. 6
    Make ahead: Chill dough up to 2 days.
  7. 7
    Note: Nutritional analysis is per 1/12 of dough.
