This recipe is made for a seasonal party.

If you want to whip up something easy and fast, skip this one.

Baking a quiche takes some time and effort.

However you can bake a quiche 1 day ahead of the event :)

The recipe for the crust.

Ingredients for the Φ23cm pan

220g wheat flour (Type 405)

40g EV olive oil

80g apple sauce

3g salt

A drizzle of olive oil for the step 6

Preheat oven for 190℃

Step1

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.

Knead it with your hand. The dough will not get combined so easily and will create a lot of layers. But it's fine like that.

Try to just combine all the crumbs and make a big ball of dough.

It will not be a smooth dough.

Step2

When the ball shape is formed wrap it with a plastic foil.

Keep it in the fridge while mixing the filling in the next steps

or at least 10 minutes. (this step makes the rolling out process easier )

Step3

Place a cooking sheet and roll out the dough into a flat circle between the plastic foil and the cooking sheet.

Step4

Lift the dough gently and place it into your pie pan.

Poke holes in pie crust using a fork.

Step 5

Bake it for 15 minutes at 190℃

You don't have to place the baking beans, also known as pie weights.

This crust will not puff up so much.

Step６

Remove the crust from the oven and apply just a drizzle of olive oil.

Don't skip this process if you want the pie crust bottom to remain crispy after adding the wet filling.

Step 7

Place it back in the oven .

Bake it for another 5 minutes.

Step 8

The crust is ready.

Set the oven for 180℃ for the next steps. (Because 190℃ is too hot )
