Pretty straightforward as recipes goes.</p><p>It’s the “how” part of the equation — specifically, the mixing, rolling and crimping — that fills some bakers with equal parts anxiety, dread and shame when we do it poorly.</p><div class="s2nPlayer k-XcJPnvQz" data-type="float" data-s2n-api="dfm_stn_player_script_id_XcJPnvQz"></div><script> function dfm_stn_player_script_id_XcJPnvQz( getS2NApiForPlayer ) { if( typeof window.MNGAuthentication !== 'undefined' ){ const s2nApi = getS2NApiForPlayer( document.querySelector('.k-XcJPnvQz') ); s2nApi.float = ! window.MNGAuthentication.isUserSubscriber(); } }</script><p>Use too much liquid and the pastry dough will be sticky; overwork the dough with your rolling pin or hands and the crust will be difficult to work with — and tough on the plate.</p><p>And if you’re making the pie for a holiday gathering like Thanksgiving or Christmas, where desserts often take center stage?

She also served as assistant pastry chef at Sheraton Station Square Hotel before taking a job as a purchaser at Bidwell in 1995, and eventually becoming an instructor.</p><div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube_article" id="div-gpt-ad-cube_article" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube_article" data-unit="orlandosentinel.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/cube_article" data-targeting=""></div> </div><p>Yet Brookshire insists that you, too, can master the art of pie making if you follow some basic rules and take your time.</p><p>“Everyone wants to be in a hurry, but making [pastry dough] is an art,” she says. “Pies are a work of art.”</p><p>Senior culinary student Bella Black nods her head in agreement.</p><p>“It’s a trusted process,” says the 22-year-old as she helps Brookshire roll out dough for a pumpkin pie in the school’s pastry kitchen. “You might look at [the dough] and wonder, ‘Where is this going to go?’ But if you give it time and trust the process, it’ll be great.”</p><p>So how to go about it? Brookshire gives these pie-making tips:</p><h4>Keep it cold</h4><p>One mistake novice bakers often make is using room temperature ingredients. But if the butter melts before the pie goes in the oven, through either the mixing or rolling process, the crust won’t be crisp and flaky. So always start with super-cold butter, and use ice water — one tablespoon at a time — to moisten the flour.</p><p>It’s also not a bad idea to stick the bowl of flour, sugar and salt in the fridge for 5-10 minutes before you add the chilled butter.</p><p>It’s also essential to chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes after it’s made, says Brookshire. This allows the flour to absorb the water and solidify the fat before rolling.</p><p>“It relaxes the gluten, which makes it easy to roll out,” she says.</p><h4>Use a gentle touch</h4><p>A food processor is a great time saver for busy cooks, but it makes it very easy to overprocess the dough, So the best way to mix pie dough is by hand, says Brookshire. “How else are you going to feel it?” she asks.</p><aside class="related right"><h2 class="widget-title" data-curated-ids="" data-relation-type="automatic-primary-tag">Related Articles</h2><ul><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants, Food & Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/23/a-starry-thanksgiving-recipes-beloved-by-donna-kelce-eric-stonestreet-taylor-swift/" title="A starry Thanksgiving: Recipes beloved by Donna Kelce, Eric Stonestreet, Taylor Swift"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> A starry Thanksgiving: Recipes beloved by Donna Kelce, Eric Stonestreet, Taylor Swift </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants, Food & Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/22/tips-for-thanksgiving-turkey-roasting-success/" title="Tips for Thanksgiving turkey-roasting success"> <span class="dfm-title premium"> Tips for Thanksgiving turkey-roasting success </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants, Food & Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/21/quick-cook-make-these-tahini-roasted-sweet-potatoes-for-thanksgiving/" title="Quick Cook: Make these Tahini-Roasted Sweet Potatoes for Thanksgiving"> <span class="dfm-title premium"> Make these Tahini-Roasted Sweet Potatoes for Thanksgiving </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants, Food & Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/20/creative-thanksgiving-recipes/" title="7 recipes that will add a new twist to your Thanksgiving dinner"> <span class="dfm-title premium"> 7 recipes that will add a new twist to your Thanksgiving dinner </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants, Food & Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/19/thanksgiving-stuffing-recipes/" title="Dressing or stuffing?

After cutting the butter into cubes, work it into the flour with your fingertips and thumbs until the butter is hazelnut-sized and covered in flour.</p><p>Then, after adding the liquid, work quickly to mix the ingredients until they just come together when you pinch it between your fingers. It’s OK if it looks a little crumbly — the dough will continue to hydrate as it rests in the fridge.</p><p>“You can feel it, it’s kind of like adult Play-Doh,” says Brookshire.</p><p>If it’s too dry, add more liquid a teaspoon at a time; if it’s sticky, cautiously add a little more flour, or try rolling it out between parchment paper. “But you don’t want to play with it too much, or it will get stiff,” she adds. And use just enough flour on your hands to easily form the dough into balls.</p><h4>Don’t forget to flatten</h4><p>After separating the dough into balls, flatten them into disks with the palm of your hand using fast movements, cover in plastic and stick the disks in the fridge to chill.</p><p>This will not only make the dough easier to roll out into circles, but will cut down on the time you must work the dough with your roller, minimizing gluten development.</p><p>“You want it nice and flat so it’s already in the shape of the pan,” says Brookshire.</p><h4>Help! I can’t roll a perfect dough circle!</h4><p>You’re the boss of the rolling pin, so make it work for you! Always gently roll dough from the center outwards, and be sure to rotate it a quarter turn after each roll to ensure even thickness.</p><p>“You have to pay attention, and keep flipping it,” says Brookshire. And we’ll remind you again — always start with chilled dough.</p><p>Ideally, a rolled crust should measure 1 inch larger than the pie pan; check size by placing the pan on top of the rolled out dough. If you have to stretch it to fit into the pan, it may tear.</p><h4>Do I need to blind-bake?</h4><p>You only need to pre-bake a pie crust when making a custard or cream pie to make sure the crust doesn’t get soggy, says Brookshire. If you do pre-bake, prick the bottom of the crust with a fork (called “docking”) to keep it from puffing up. Line the crust snugly with parchment paper, then fill with dried beans or pie weights.</p><h4>Keep it in one piece</h4><p>If you fold the rolled-out crust in half, it will be easier to transport into the pan, says Brookshire. You also can use a bench scraper to get the crust off of the work surface in one piece. As for placement, “aim for the middle of the pan, and then pull it over,” she says.</p><h4>How to crimp the edges</h4><p>One of the easiest ways to crimp a pie crust is to press the tines of a fork along the rim of the plate. But it’s almost as simple to create a scalloped pattern using your thumb and index finger. Here’s how:</p><p>Hold the tips of your thumb and forefinger against the inside rim of your pie crust. Using the index finger from the other hand, gently push the dough from outer edge between your inside fingertips. Repeat, following along the rim, “and always fold the edges under” first, says Brookshire.</p><h4>Can I make my filling ahead of time?</h4><p>Absolutely! Just be sure to stir it to reincorporate the ingredients before pouring it into the crust, Brookshire advises.</p><h4>Butter or shortening?</h4><p>It’s really a matter of personal preference. Shortening has a higher melting point, so it’s easier to incorporate and roll out in pie dough. But it doesn’t have as much flavor. Butter tastes great, but because it melts faster, it is harder to work with. Maybe a combination of both?</p><p>Whatever you use, be sure to cut it into small chunks and chill it before making the dough.</p><h4>How do I know when it’s done?</h4><p>A golden brown crust is the goal, but doesn’t necessarily mean your pie has finished cooking.</p><p>A fruit pie is generally done when you can pierce the fruit with a small knife, and it is bubbling in the center as well as around the edges. (Check the vent holes you cut in the crust before baking.)</p><p>A pumpkin pie is done when it passes the toothpick test — and the edges are firm but the center is still jiggly.</p><p>Remember, you can always cover the entire crust or just the edges with aluminum foil if it browns too quickly.</p><p>“Keep you eye on it, and be sure to turn it” halfway through baking, says Brookshire.</p><p>Above all, if you really want to nail it this holiday pie baking season, “truly, don’t overwork the dough!”</p><hr><figure id="attachment_14223970" class="wp-caption alignnone size-article_inline"><img decoding="async" class=" lazyautosizes lazyload" src="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/FOOD-PIE-CRUST-2-PG.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" alt="Pies made by the Bidwell Pastry Culinary School is shown on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Braddock, Pennsylvania.

Unlike in a lot of pumpkin pie recipes, Chef Bec doesn’t blind-bake the pie crust. She also used four kinds of milk for a creamier filling, and pastry flour for a flakier crust (but you can easily substitute all-purpose flour).</p><p><strong>For crust</strong></p><ul> <li>1/2 ounce salt</li> <li>1 ounce sugar</li> <li>8 ounces milk</li> <li>1 pound and 5 ounces pastry flour</li> <li>13 ounces shortening</li> </ul><p><strong>For filling</strong></p><ul> <li>3 eggs</li> <li>50 ounces pumpkin puree</li> <li>1/4 cup sugar</li> <li>1/3 cup brown sugar</li> <li>1 teaspoon salt</li> <li>1 tablespoon cinnamon</li> <li>1/2 teaspoon ginger</li> <li>Pinch of ground cloves</li> <li>1 cup milk</li> <li>3 ounces coconut milk</li> <li>1 cup evaporated milk</li> <li>1/4 cup heavy cream</li> </ul><p>Prepare crust: Dissolve salt and sugar in the milk. Set aside.</p><p>In large bowl, cut the shortening into the flour by hand until there are hazelnut-sized cubes. Do not overmix!</p><p>Form the dough into 4 even balls. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.</p><p>Roll out one dough ball into a circle that extends 1 inch over the pan you are using. Fold in half (this makes transferring the pastry easier) and fit into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim excess dough flush with rim.</p><p>Prepare filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, sugars, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Add milk, coconut milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream, and whisk to combine.</p><p>Pour filling into pie crust (Chef Bec does not prebake her shells) and place on a rimmed baking sheet.</p><p>Bake in 350-degree oven until center is still wobbly, around 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer plate to a wire rack to cool completely.</p><p>Serve with whipped cream, if desired.</p><p>Makes 1 pie.</p><p><em>— Chef Bec Brookshire, Bidwell Training Center</em></p><h4>Pâte Sucrée (sweet pastry)</h4><p>PG tested</p><p>This sweet pastry dough is sturdy, thanks to the addition of sugar and egg yolks.
