Up your pie game with this delicious brown butter rye pie dough. (This recipe makes enough dough for 1 9-inch diameter pie plate. To add a top crust, double this recipe.)

Ingredients

  • 133 grams all-purpose flour (1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons)
  • 77 grams rye flour (¾ cup)
  • 25 grams sugar (2 Tablespoons)
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt (or table salt)
  • 113 grams refrigerator cold unsalted browned butter (cut into ¼ inch pieces)
  • 7-8 Tablespoons ice water

Instructions 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar and salt, making sure they are fully combined.
  • Using your hands, toss the pieces of cold browned butter, squeezing them each to flatten them a bit. There should be small chunks of butter in the mixture.
  • Create a well in the center of the bowl. Add 4 Tbsp. ice cold water into the well. Toss the flour/butter mixture to hydrate it with the water. Continue making a well in the center and add 1 Tbsp. cold water at a time, tossing after each addition, just until the dough forms.
  • Drop dough onto plastic wrap and shape into a flattened disc. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (and up to 48 hours) before rolling out.

Notes
