• Explain how to prepare quality dough for pies and tarts

PiesPies
• The way in which ingredients are combined and baked can make the difference between a mediocre pie and a great one

DoughDough
• Pie dough is a simple mixture of flour, fat, liquid, and salt
• Selecting the right ingredients will help produce a better finished piecrust
![Page 6: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

FlourFlour
• Pastry flour produces a delicate piecrust, rather than dense and chewy, because it is lower in gluten and higher in starch
![Page 7: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

FatFat
• The choice of fat is the most important factor in creating a piecrust with an excellent texture
• Fats commonly used for piecrusts include butter, lard, and vegetable-based solid shortenings
![Page 8: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

FatFat
• Considerations when choosing a fat for piecrust– Butter
• good flavor• expensive• lower melting point produces crust that isn’t as
flaky

• Considerations when choosing a fat for piecrust (continued)– Lard
• higher melting point creates flakier texture than butter
• flavor objectionable to some• dietary restrictions may prohibit its use

LiquidLiquid
• The liquid used in pie dough can be water or milk– Water is most common– Milk helps the crust brown more quickly
• Liquid should be ice cold
![Page 12: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

MixingMixing
• Mixing is important for developing a particular texture in a finished piecrust
• Two distinct textures of finished piecrust include– flaky pie dough: commonly used for fruit-filled
pies– mealy pie dough: used for pies with liquid
fillings because it resists becoming soggy
![Page 13: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc.
MixingMixing
• Do not overmix or overwork either type of dough to avoid developing too much gluten
![Page 14: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Rolling and FormingRolling and Forming
• Allow the dough to chill before rolling
• Don’t try to roll out more dough at one time than is needed
• Once the piecrust is formed, the raw pie shell is ready for the filling
![Page 15: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Rolling and FormingRolling and Forming
• After the filling is added, there are three options for finishing the pie– Uncovered: pies with liquid fillings generally
have no top crust– Solid top crust: cut holes or vents in the top
crust to allow steam to escape during baking– Lattice top: strips of dough are woven into a
sheet and placed on the pie to create a decorative top crust
![Page 16: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Rolling and FormingRolling and Forming
• Egg wash is commonly used to seal the top and bottom crusts together and to give the top crust a brown shiny finish
• The edge of the pie dough can be crimped or decorated to seal it and add eye appeal

Technique: Forming a PiecrustTechnique: Forming a Piecrust
1. Dust work surface with flour to prevent dough from sticking. Place a 9-oz. piece of workable dough on the work surface and dust the top of dough with flour.

Pie FillingsPie Fillings
• Some are baked with the crust, while others are added after the crust is baked
• Must be properly thickened and paired with the appropriate piecrust
![Page 26: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Fruit FillingsFruit Fillings
• Raw Fruit Fillings– Mixed with sugar, spices, and a starchy
thickener– As pie bakes, moisture from the fruit and
starch create a thickened filling– Rarely used in foodservice because
thickness of fillings are inconsistent– Underthickened fillings can result in a soggy
pie
![Page 27: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc.
Fruit FillingsFruit Fillings
• Cooked Fruit Fillings– Either the fruit or fruit juice is sweetened and
thickened on the stove top– Bakers can control the thickness of the filling
before the pie is baked– For delicate or frozen fruits, cook and thicken
the juice and then mix the fruit back into the thickened juice
![Page 28: Chapter 40](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681466c550346895db3912d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Liquid FillingsLiquid Fillings
• Most contain eggs that coagulate and thicken the filling during baking
• Pies with liquid fillings are best baked with mealy pie dough
Can you name some examples of liquid pie fillings?

Cream and Chiffon FillingsCream and Chiffon Fillings
• Cream pies are made with a pudding or pastry cream filling
• Use a prebaked pie shell or a pie shell with a crumb crust
• The consistency of the filling should be thick, so slices hold their shape when cut
• Chiffon pies are a lighter version of cream pies with gelatin and whipped cream added to make it airy and firm
