Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
On lightly floured surface, roll out Rachel McBride's Whole Wheat Dough to a 12-inch circle. Ease it into 10-inch deep-dish pie plate, pressing evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Crimp the edges.
Line the pie crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
Remove the foil and weights. Return the crust to the oven and bake just until the dough is lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the crust in the pan on a rack, 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the filling, combine the evaporated milk, sweet potatoes, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, eggs and egg white in a food processor and pulse until smooth; it's alright if some sweet potato chunks remain.
Pour the filling into the crust.
Bake just until the center is set, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely on a rack. Chill until ready to serve.
Whisk together the flours, flaxseed meal and salt. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut in 1/3 cup vegetable shortening to the texture of a fine meal.
Cut in the remaining 1/3 cup shortening in larger pieces, about the size of small peas.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons ice water over the mixture and gently combine with a fork or a wooden spoon.
Sprinkle another 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water and bring together gently in a ball. Wrap in wax paper and chill until use. When ready to use, roll one disk out to a 1/2-inch thickness and place into desired pie plate.

"A tad reduced in aroma, this young white has plenty of intensity, offering lime, peach and slate flavors matched to a silky texture. It's awkward today, needing time to integrate. Best from 2008 through 2020. 1,500 cases made." –BS
