Pastry Dough

Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cup flour measured by carefully spooning flour into the measuring cup and gently leveling off with a knife. Be careful not to pack down.
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ cup canola oil or extra light olive oil
  • ⅓ cup cold Rice Dream or other pareve milk
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

Instructions

  • Place flour in a mixing bowl. Add salt and sugar, and mix together with a fork.
  • Drizzle in oil; stir and cut in with a fork until there are small clumps of varying size, and no more loose flour. The largest clumps should be no bigger than lima beans.
  • Distribute Rice Dream evenly over the mixture, then sprinkle in vinegar. Stir and mash with the fork just until it comes together in a ball and dough holds together nicely.
  • Divide dough in half. Wrap each half in wax paper and allow dough to rest for 20 minutes.
  • Lightly dampen your work surface, and spread a 24–inch long piece of wax paper or parchment paper on it, making sure that the paper does not slide around. Place one portion of dough on the paper. Place a second piece of paper, of equal size, on top of dough. Roll out dough with a rolling pin—from the center out, in all directions, until dough is just a drop thinner than 1/8-inch. Use a confectionary ruler (or any clear plastic ruler) to measure and cut the dough into four (5-inch) squares. Roll out the second piece of dough, and cut it into squares.
  • You will have leftover dough, which must be used right away or discarded, as pastry dough made with oil separates and does not store well in the fridge or freezer.
  • Yield: 17 ounces pastry dough
