(makes one large quiche, or 2 smaller ones, or 6-8 mini quiches)

The dough for this quiche recipe is very simple.
Adding the sesame seeds to the flour helps create little air pockets in the dough which gives it a light and crunchy texture.
It is important to leave the dough to stand for some time, as the flour will soak up the water, and it will be so much easier to press into the baking dish. While the dough is resting you can make the filling, before assembling the quiche.

Dough
2 cups stone ground flour or white flour, or mixed
¼ cup sesame seeds
1 t Salt
¾ cup lukewarm water ( maybe more, depending of what flour you use)
½ cup olive oil

Put the flour, sesame seeds and salt in a bowl, mix and make a well in the middle.
Mix the water and oil, and mix well.
Mix the water-oil mixture into the flour with a fork and knead lightly.
Cover and leave for at least 15 minutes to rest at room temperature.

Super Green Filling
