Dough

Ingredients:

All purpose flour - 1 cup / 100 g

Wheat flour - 1 cup / 100 g

Unsalted butter - 115 g

Sugar - 50 g / 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp

Method:

• In a bowl add flour and cubed chill butter.
• Rub them with hands, till you get crumbs texture.
• Now add the sugar and keep mixing the dough.
• Now you will get a dough.
• Wrap in a butter paper and refrigerate for an hour.
• After desired time dust the butter paper with flour.
• Place the dough and cover with one other butter paper.
• Roll it out and peel the top butter paper.
• Grease the pie pan with butter.
• Now flip the dough from butter paper to pan.
• Press gently and then trim the edges.
• Prick with fork all over the base.
• Bake this in preheated oven (OTG) at 180°C for 20-22 mins.
• Or after fixing the dough to pan, you can add filling and bake together.
• This is enough to fill a 9 inch pie pan.

Note:

• To have excess dough for top covering, you can add 50 g of extra flour.
• After pricking holes you can place a foil filled with rice and do baking.
• This is called blind baking.
• I used this and made apple cherry pie.
