Best Gluten Free Pie Crust

by - October 20, 2017

Pie crust in general can be tricky. It can be hard to find a good recipe and then rolling it out and getting it to bake properly can be a feat in and of itself. Making a gluten free pie crust just means it's going to be even harder because the dough can be really sticky and extra fragile.  I have worked so many recipes and I have finally come up with such a great recipe.  This is definitely the best recipe because it is not only easy to make but easy to work with as well.  I have found a trick that if you use the plastic, flimsy cutting boards it makes it so much easier to transfer to the pie or pan pan.  I really recommend it and have been a life savor.   I also use Bobs Red Mill Flour, 1 To 1 Baking, 22 oz to make this pastry. I love this flour and pretty much use it in all of my cooking.

I love pie, like probably an unhealthy amount of love so you can trust that I know what I am talking about.  My family takes pie making so seriously and they can be some harsh critics but they all love this pie crust. They love it so much that I have fully taken over making pies on the holidays even though only my mom and I are gluten free.  I would really recommend that you watch the video down below in order to see how I make it and roll it out so that it can be really easy for you to make on your own.  Make sure to check out my YouTube channel for more great videos and product reviews.
