If you're like many people, you may have a gluten intolerance or allergy. Unfortunately, this can make it difficult to enjoy some of your favorite foods, including pie. However, with Red Mill gluten free flour, you can make a pie crust that's just as delicious as the traditional version. In this article, we'll share a recipe for a gluten free pie crust using Red Mill flour that's sure to impress your taste buds.
Ingredients
Before we get started, let's take a look at the ingredients you'll need:
2 and 1/2 cups of Red Mill gluten free flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 cup of unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup of ice water
Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients, let's get started with the instructions:
In a large bowl, mix together the Red Mill gluten free flour, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Add the chilled butter pieces to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Add 1/4 cup of ice water to the bowl and mix until the dough comes together. If the dough is still too dry, add additional ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Remove one disk of dough from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 12 inches in diameter.
Gently transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges as needed.
Poke the bottom of the crust all over with a fork.
Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it's lightly golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool before adding your desired filling.
Tips
Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect gluten free pie crust:
Make sure your butter is very cold. This will help create a flaky crust.
Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough can result in a tough crust.
If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use your hands to mix the butter into the flour mixture.
Refrigerating the dough before rolling it out will help prevent it from sticking to your rolling pin and work surface.
If the edges of your crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning.
Conclusion
With this Red Mill gluten free flour pie crust recipe, you can enjoy delicious pie even if you have a gluten intolerance or allergy. The crust is flaky and flavorful, and it's easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. Give it a try the next time you're craving a slice of pie!
