If you never tried it, add an egg and a little bit of apple cider vinegar to the dough. Makes all the difference in the world. Dough is much easier to handle. I also separate into disks, wrap tightly in saran wrap and freeze them before I use them. Pull them out to defrost in the fridge overnight, they roll out beautifully the next day.
Felicia I used your original recipe but I used the shortening because I eat Kosher. I used sheet pan. I refrigerated dough for an hour and popped sheet pan in freezer. I used Saran, cling wrap on sheet pan and floured it then rolled pie crust out on it. Then rolled it onto the rolling pin.
Aww hun. Next time.. Divide the crust into two disks and let them rest, tightly wrapped in cling film, in the fridge for at least an hour or so only pulling out 1 disk at a time to work. And when ever it starts to get soft.. Back in the chill chest. Also.. If your room is warm.. It works better in a cold room. The counter top can also be chilled down by placing a cast iron dutch oven in the freezer a few hours before you start and when it comes time to start rolling it out, pull the pot out of the freezer and rub it around on the area you're going to use to roll out your crusts.
Yes, the top I actually did leave in the fridge for several hours and that helped. That's why I recommend butter because that lard that I used warms up SO fast compared to the butter! Thank you for the tips. My main problem with pie crust is my impatience lol I know Julia Child recommended a marble slab because it stays cooler for longer, but I have yet to find one that is a good size 😛
@@DebiTurner I've only taken the time to look once and they didn't have any! I was quite surprised, but I probably just need to try a specialty store not home depot or lowes lol
The crust will still stick to a mat. It all needs to be really cold. I used to have a marble rolling pin and board that you put in the fridge and that keeps everything cold. You'll have a much flakier crust if you keep it cold and don't overwork it. I prefer to cook my fillings too if they haven't been canned. Nothing worse than doing all that work and then you cut into it and it's soup!
I wonder if putting the ball of dough between parchment paper, and then pressing it in a 10" tortilla press to shape it, would work? I'm going to try it lol. I'm new to your channel, and also to the world of milling grains. You are helping me so much! Thank you!
Ah I never thought to do that but it would help for it to not stick. I do know the key is the dough needs to be cold. Warm dough is a mess to work with!
You’ve just got a tad too much water in your dough. You want to add ice water just a spoonful at a time until it stays together when you push it into a ball. Then wrap in plastic or place in a ziplock and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Then roll it slowly and gently. This dough is just too wet.
Ok, mine says 800 watt but I have seen in the past year rating regulations have changed for the U.S. So the power of the motor for the Bosch Universal Plus hasn’t changed, it’s just labeled differently now.

I’m going to try that as well. Thank you for the tip‼️

Great, and it worked out for you?

Nice tips! I've never made pie from scratch before so this is much appreciated. ❤

Think a flooring store. 24" marble tiles. 😉

Yes, the devastation when the pie is soupy is so sad!

Not pie related, but I'm wanting a Bosch mixer too. Do you have the 500 watt or 800 watt? Wanting to get the bundle but wanting to get the right one.
