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

Step1

Preheat oven for 190℃

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.

Step ６

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 )
