How to make almond flour pie crust recipe

Guide for Almond Flour Pie Crust:

• Ensure accurate measurements by using a kitchen scale if possible. Accurate measurements will create a much better almond flour pie crust.
• In a large mixing bowl, blend the flours using a spoon.
• Create a well in the flour mixture and gently pour in lukewarm water and melted coconut oil.
• Stir with a spoon, then transition to using your hands. Squeeze the mixture to form a dough ball – it should be moist but not excessively wet or dry.
• If the dough is too crumbly, add 1/2 tablespoon of lukewarm water and knead until a cohesive ball forms. If the dough is too wet, add 1/2 tablespoon of arrowroot flour and knead until the desired texture is achieved. Repeat if needed until you achieve the perfect dough ball. The dough should be pliable and soft, but not too sticky.

Rolling the Pie Dough:

• Lay a generous piece of parchment paper on your countertop. Plunk the dough ball in the middle, cover it with another parchment sheet, and give it a gentle press to flatten.
• Use a rolling pin to roll the dough flat, transforming the dough into a thin, classic crust.
• Remove the top parchment layer, slip your hand beneath the rolled dough parchment, and flip it onto a greased 8-inch or 9-inch pie dish. Opt for a removable bottom dish for an easier crust release.
• Peel off the remaining parchment and press the crust into the dish. Don't worry about missing dough on the sides or minor cracks at the base—totally normal!
• Crack Correction: Use excess crust from outside the dish to fix any cracks or holes. Press bits of dough with your fingers to cover the sides or fill gaps.
• Use the back of a teaspoon to achieve a smooth surface for your crust.
• Prick the crust bottom with a fork before baking or prebaking.
• Chill and Preserve: Store the unbaked crust in the fridge for up to 2 days. Ensure to cover the dish's top to prevent the dough from drying out.
• Crust tip: Tip for Baking Without Pie Weights
• If you don't have any pie weights, let your pie crust dough hang over the edge slightly. This not only adds a rustic charm but also prevents excessive shrinkage during baking. The overhang provides a buffer, maintaining the crust's shape. Just be cautious not to extend it too much; a modest overhang works wonders for a beautifully golden and evenly baked crust. Once the first bake is done, gently use a knife to cut off the excess crust before filling the pie and baking the second time.

• Initial Baking: Place your pie crust in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) on the center rack. Prebake the crust for 7 minutes or go all-in for 15 minutes to craft perfect pie cases for cold fillings.
• Filling and baking: Once the initial bake is done, remove the crust from the oven, and generously add your chosen filling. Send it back into the oven until your filling reaches its pinnacle of set perfection. If the crust edges threaten to brown too swiftly, safeguard them by draping a piece of foil over the top.
