Step 1
1. Chill the butter and cut it into pieces. In a food processor, mix 1 cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse several times. Add ice water and process until the mixture resembles crumbs. Turn the dough out onto a work surface, press together briefly, and shape into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. On a floured work surface, roll the dough into a 27-cm circle about 6 mm thick. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper, then chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the oranges and remove the membranes. Slice 2 oranges into rounds and remove any seeds. Arrange the orange slices on a plate.

4. Fold the dough toward the center, covering most of the filling. Mix the egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of water and brush the surface of the dough. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Arrange orange slices on top, leaving a 2.5 cm border around the edge. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Preheat the oven to 190°C with the rack in the center. Bake the pie directly from the freezer for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then let it cool completely before serving with caramel sauce.
