All-Butter Pie Dough

Makes 3 (16x12-inch) crusts

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups (750 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon (9 grams) kosher salt
  • 2 cups (454 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 cup (240 grams) ice water, plus more as needed

Instructions

  • In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse flour and salt until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly and butter is pea-size. With processor running, add 1 cup (240 grams) ice water in a slow, steady stream just until dough comes together. (Mixture may appear crumbly. It should be moist and hold together when pinched.) Add more ice water as needed.
  • Turn out dough, and shape into a rectangle. Divide dough into 3 portions (about 480 grams each), shape each into a rectangle. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
