Ingredients

6 Tbsp. oil
1/2 cup Stone-Buhr whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups Stone-Buhr unbleached white bread flour, plus extra for rolling
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
4 to 5 Tbsp. ice water
6 Tbsp. butter, cold, cut into pieces (3/4 of a stick)


Instructions

Mix both flours, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the oil and mix well with a fork until it resembles fine crumbs. Add the cold butter, and cut it in with the fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the ice water 1 Tbsp. at a time, gently tossing to mix, until you can gather dough up into a ball. Do not over-mix, or it will be tough.With hands, divide dough in half and shape each into smooth, round, flat balls. Do not overwork the dough. Wrap each half in plastic wrap.

Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to relax and chill it before rolling.

Roll out on a lightly-floured marble slab to desired size. If you don’t have marble, use a floured wooden board.
