Expert Answer

Make sure you leave the pie in the oven for long enough! The juices from your pie should be spilling out onto your baking sheet, making a mess, and looking bubbly.

The best flour for pie pastry is all-purpose or plain flour. If possible choose 00 flour, which is a very finely ground flour ideal for pastry making.

Staff Answer

Yes, you can freeze the dough for up to 2 months. Shape into a ball, then flatten. Or roll into a pie dish to create a pie shell for freezing. Cover with plastic wrap first, then foil wrap outside. Place in the freezer to freeze. To thaw, leave in the refrigerator before you need to use it, then roll out/fill as needed.
