Add the water
Slowly pour the chilled water through the feed tube while pulsing the machine. Continue to pulse until the dough resembles coarse cornmeal.

Shape the dough
Pour the crumbs into a large resealable plastic bag. Use the bag to gather the crumbs together tightly to form a disc. Fold the bag’s top quarter down so it becomes a rectangle. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into the corners of the folded bag to make a rectangle. Place the dough in the bag in the refrigerator. Chill the dough at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.

Prepare the June Pan
After the dough has chilled, lightly coat the bottom and sides of a June Pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the June Pan with parchment paper, then lightly spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.

Roll out the dough
Remove the chilled dough from the bag and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 11” x 16”, dusting the dough and pin with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
kitchen shears
Form the crust
Transfer the dough from the surface to the prepared June Pan by rolling it lightly onto the rolling pin and unrolling it over the June Pan. Press the dough into the June Pan, making sure the dough reaches the top edge of the pan on all sides.
Prick and chill the crust
Prick the dough all over with the tines of a fork to allow the steam to escape during baking. Place the dough-lined June Pan in the refrigerator and chill at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.

Preheat the June Oven
Once the crust has chilled, preheat the June Oven to 375°F on the Bake cook mode with the shelf in the middle position using the button below.

Parbake the crust
Transfer the chilled crust to the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake 15 minutes, until the crust has set but is still pale. June will notify you when the crust is ready. Remove from the June Oven and allow to cool. If the crust has puffed slightly during baking, use a kitchen towel to press the crust down gently to flatten.

Bake the quiche
Carefully transfer the quiche to the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake the quiche 15 minutes, until the custard has set and is beginning to brown. June will notify you when the quiche is ready.
Cool the quiche and serve
