All-Butter Pie Dough
Makes 3 (16x12-inch) crusts
- 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
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.
