  3. 2 oz (57 g) vital wheat gluten flour
  4. 3 tbsps wheat bran
  5. 1/2 tsp salt
  6. 8 tbsps unsalted butter (cold, 1/2" diced)
  7. 1 tbsp cold water
Instructions
  1. Process all ingredients (EXCEPT cold water) in a food processor until you have a mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  2. Gradually add in the cold water and continue pulsing until a dough is formed.
  3. Wrap the dough ball with plastic, then flatten to 7-inch thick and keep in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the cold dough with some wheat gluten flour, then roll out between two plastic sheets to make a 12-inch circle.
  5. Transfer the flatten dough into a 9-inch pie plate, press onto the sides and bottom of the plate. Remove the extra dough and chill for another 15 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 400° F/205°C.
  7. Prick the cold pie crust with a fork and cover with a foil, then load with pie weights.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 16 minutes.
  9. Remove the weights, cover loosely with foil and bake for another 5-6 minutes, until golden brown.
