I have been wanting to make a homemade pie crust for some time now. I had always bought the already prepared whole wheat crusts from whole foods. Although they are tasty, I wanted to compare it to a homemade crust. I decided to simply try their recipe for a typical pie crust made with whole wheat flour. I was extremely happy with the results. The crust didn't get soggy when I made a quiche with it and it was nice and flaky as well. The only step I added to the recipe was that I sprayed my pie dish with nonstick cooking spray and lightly floured it as well.
Since I didn't change the recipe in any way I am just including the link directly to the pie crust recipe for you. The nutrition info is also included with their recipe.
Weight Watchers PointsPlus is 4 per serving.
The quiche recipe will be coming on my blog this week and it is mighty yummy! Also if you have a food processor it makes life a lot easier!

Step 1: Spray and lightly pie dish.
Step 2: Prepare dough, place it on a piece of parchment paper and flatten by hand.
Step 3: Lay another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough and use a rolling pin to form a circular shape. As long as it is larger than your dish, you are good!
Step 4: Remove the top parchment paper and invert pie dish onto dough.
Step 5: Flip over smoothing dough into dish and trim edges with a knife.
Step 6: Use a fork to make the crust pretty! Add quiche goodies and you are done!

I think I am on the dense side of this because when I click on the "link directly to the pie crust recipe " it takes me to recipes, but not to the Whole Wheat Pie cruse. I cannot find the one you are writing about on the Whole Food site. I guess I need a little (LOT) of help to find it.
Thank you
Rex

I have actually made a really good whole wheat pie crust before. It similar to this recipe but I use a lot more butter but that could be because it makes two pie crusts instead of one. Thanks for sharing 🙂
