    Trust me, I love the savoury Everyday Cookbook pastry recipes as much as anyone, BUT to be honest, I actually like this Easy Olive Oil Pastry even more.

    Easy Olive Oil Pastry Feature

    It's so quick and simple to make and tastes incredible. It makes the most beautiful, crispy and delicious pastry... that will leave you drooling! To make the pastry, all you'll need is plain flour, butter, olive oil, salt and cold water. That's it! This recipe will make enough pastry to cover the bottom and top of a 33cm savoury pie. If you only need a base, then simply halve the recipe.

    I love to use this pastry when I'm making egg and bacon quiches, spinach and feta pies and roast vegetable tarts. It's incredibly versatile and always tastes amazing. If you find you have too much pastry, you can always double wrap it in cling wrap and pop it into the freezer. Sometimes when I'm making pastry, I'll double the recipe and freeze half so that it's ready to go on those nights when I'm running late cooking dinner!

      What temperature should the butter be to add to the recipe?

      Thank you- Patty

        Slightly softened butter will work better than straight out of the fridge so that it can combine within the 10 seconds mixing time. As the dough goes back into the fridge for a while, it will harden enough by then to roll out easily 🙂

      I was pleasantly surprised. I always thought you must be able to use oil. It was much easier to work with than all butter pastry. I had to do it by estimation but it turned out well.

        Hi Tanya, you can leave it in the fridge overnight, however, you'll need to make sure that you remove it from the fridge at least 30 minutes before using. 🙂

        Hi Kylie, let it knead for a little longer or add a tiny amount more water.

      If you use the pastry for a quiche or a tart do you blind bake ?

        Hi Iris, yes I generally do (especially if I want really flakey/crispy pastry).

      Do you use salted or unsalted butter?

        Hi Susan, you can use either. If you use salted butter, simply omit the extra pinch of salt.

      The notes at the top say you freeze for when your running late with dinner.... What do you do to defrost? Feel like this would take longer to defrost than to make and rest?? Would love to know if there's a quicker way 🙂

        Hi Lori,
        I usually just take it out of the freezer and pop it on the bench. It certainly does take a little while to defrost but it's perfect for those days when I don't have time to actually make the pastry (but do have time to leave it on the bench while I do other things!). Hope that helps 🙂
