Best press in savory tart crust?
I hate rolling pie crust. Pastry is my nemesis. I tried to adapt Dorie Greenspan's sweet press in tart crust for a savory tart and it turned out to have the consistency of cardboard. I would love a recipe for a mostly whole wheat crust that can be made in the food processor and pressed in. Something easy and no fuss. With olive oil,maybe? Ideas?

2 cups flour (I use 1 Cup AP, 1 cup WW pastry)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup olive oil
Simply sift the flour(s) and salt into a bowl, stir in the water and olive oil (I mix them together first). Knead for a minute or two, form into a ball, then pat into a 12 inch tart pan. I suppose it could be made in a food processor, but since it takes less than five minutes by hand, I've never bothered. Hope you like it!
