Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 2 cups (192 g) superfine almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) tapioca flour
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) melted coconut oil
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for par-baking the crust.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the superfine almond flour, tapioca flour, and fine sea salt until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil and crack in the large egg. Stir the mixture until a crumbly dough forms, then knead gently with your hands just until it holds together.
  4. Shape the Dough: Press the dough firmly and evenly into a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan, building the sides up to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a fork to prick the bottom all over to prevent bubbling during baking.
  5. Par-Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the center looks dry. Remove the crust and let it cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before adding your desired filling.

Notes

  • Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the egg when combined.
  • Using superfine almond flour helps create a smoother dough texture and a more delicate crust.
  • Pricking the bottom of the crust prevents air bubbles and ensures even baking.
  • Par-baking the crust prevents sogginess once the filling is added.
  • This crust is versatile and can be used for both savory and sweet quiches or tarts.
