Homemade Sourdough Pie Crust
My homemade sourdough pie crust is made from scratch with olive oil instead of butter! It makes this a no-fuss recipe keeping it simple. Use this crust for any pie or pastry you desire. I love using this for homemade cherry pie! I hope this recipe replaces pre-made pie dough in your home like it has in ours!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter (fed or discard)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups flour
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine sourdough starter and water.
- Add olive oil, flour, and salt. Mix with a spoon until combined into a dough ball
- Then cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and let ferment on the counter for 50 minutes.
- Next, after the ferment, divide the dough into 2 balls. Roll each dough ball out on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin to 1/4" thickness.
- Finally, add to a greased pie pan, fill with pie filling, and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Or if you're not ready for it refrigerate for up to 48 hours or freeze in a ball for up to 3 months.
