Equipment
- Sorghum Flour
- Tapioca Starch
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup sorghum flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or pink salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup optional
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine flours and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Add oil, maple syrup and water.
- Mix until a crumbly even dough form.
- Using your hands, knead and shape into a (relatively) smooth ball.
- Using your hands, flatten into a disc.
- Wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to use, or continue to next step.
- Place the disc in-between two pieces of parchment paper, and roll out using a rolling pin OR simply use your hands to press, flatten and shape, until you have a large disc about 1/2 inch thick. If you encounter any cracks, breakage or holes, simply use the heat of your fingers to mend and patch – you cannot easily overwork the dough.
- When you have your large disc, hold it with one hand beneath the parchment paper and very quickly, turn it upside down directly over a greased pie dish or pan. It does not have to be perfect, and it’s okay if you encounter breakage.
- Using your fingers, press the dough into the bottoms and sides of pie dish until all is evenly covered and relatively uniformly smooth.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork, and optionally shape the edges of the crust how you would prefer.
- Your crust is ready! Either: place into the fridge to use within 24 hours, pre-bake your crust at 350 F (180 C) for 15 minutes for recipe requiring pre-baking, or fill with pie filling of choice and bake at 350 F (180 C) for 1 hour or until firm and edges are turning golden.
- Enjoy!
