Instructions
  1. To prepare crust: Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl.

  3. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  5. Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, preferably deep-dish, and press into the bottom and up the sides.
  7. Trim any overhanging crust.
  8. Line the dough with a piece of foil or parchment paper large enough to lift out easily; fill evenly with pie weights or dry beans.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil or paper and weights.
  11. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.

  15. Layer the remaining tomatoes on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
