Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup (120g) sourdough discard (unfed, 100% hydration)
- 1/2 tsp (3g) fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp (15ml) ice water
- 1 egg (50g), beaten
- 1 tbsp (15ml) water
Instructions:
- In a chilled bowl or food processor, combine the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt.
- Add the cubed cold butter. Pulse or cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks remaining.
- Fold in the sourdough discard using a spatula. Gently stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- If the dough is too dry to hold together, add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough clings together but is not sticky.
- Divide the dough into two discs, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough from the center outward. Transfer to your pie dish and trim the edges.
- Fill the crust as desired and brush the edges with the beaten egg and water mixture.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown.
