Orange Zest Pie Dough

Makes 1 (9-inch) crust

Ingredients
  

  • cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) tightly packed orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) kosher salt
  • ½ cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¼ cup (60 grams) ice water

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, orange zest, and salt with a fork until combined. Add cold butter, tossing to coat. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly and butter is pea-size. Add ¼ cup (60 grams) ice water, 1 tablespoon (15 grams) at a time, stirring with a fork to bring dough together.
  • Turn out dough onto a clean surface, and knead by hand until flour is well combined. Shape into a 5-inch disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
