Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1.5 tbsp. vital wheat gluten (optional but makes crust lighter)
1 tbsp. ground flaxseed (aka flax meal)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup coconut oil or butter
1/2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Directions:
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together flour, wheat gluten, flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. Cut in coconut oil with a pastry blender until mixture has small, pea sized lumps.

In a small cup, mix vinegar with 3/4 cups of cold water. Slowly add water to flour mixture, stirring with a fork until a ball begins to form. Add water as required. Older flour may be drier and require more liquid. Be careful not to add too much liquid as this will make the dough tough. Form dough into two balls then wrap with plastic wrap. Let rest for 20 minutes in the fridge. Take out 5 minutes before you want to roll it out.

Generously dust your rolling pin and counter with flour. Roll out dough half way. Add additional four underneath dough then continue rolling. Place into a 9 inch pie plate. Repeat with remaining dough and top.
