METHOD:
CRUST
- PREPARE AND DIVIDE DOUGH: Prepare Pie Crust. Divide dough into 3-7-1/2 oz pieces for bottom crust, place on lightly floured board.
- ROLL DOUGH: Sprinkle each piece of dough lightly with flour; flatten gently. Using a floured rolling pin, roll lightly with quick strokes from center out to edge in all directions. Form a circle 1 inch larger than pie pan and about 1/8 inch thick. Shift or turn dough occasionally to prevent sticking. If edges split, pinch cracks together.
- BOTTOM CRUST: Fold rolled dough in half; carefully place into ungreased pie pan with fold at center. Unfold and fit carefully into pie pan, being careful not to leave any air spaces between pan and dough.
- REMOVE EXCESS DOUGH: Trim overhanging edges of dough by using a knife or spatula
