Method

1

To a large mixing bowl, add your plain flour, wholemeal flour and salt. Mix together.
2

Pour in the Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil and stir to combine, then use your hands to rub into a breadcrumb-like texture.
3

Pour in half of your water and use your hands to form a ball of dough, adding more water as necessary until the dough comes together. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least half an hour.
4

Roll out your dough on a floured surface. Place your pastry in a pastry case, pushing it gently into the edges. Trim off the excess. Prick the base with a fork to create air holes. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 190°C. Use your pastry to create delicious quiches, pies or tarts.
