Tips for rolling out your dough🌟
Let’s talk pie dough✨ For the best flavor, go with butter. Butter gives it richness and depth. To get it super flaky, keep your ingredients COLD. Butter contains about 84% milk solids and the rest is water. When cold butter hits a hot oven, that water turns to steam, and that steam creates layers in the dough that make it light, crispy and flaky. Use cold butter and ice water to make the dough, then once your dough comes together, form it into discs, wrap it in plastic and put it back in the fridge until the butter is solid again. Then when rolling out your dough, work quickly! Make sure to have your filling ready to go to minimize the time that your dough is out of the fridge. For the best results, once your crostata is formed, put the whole thing back in the fridge so that the butter can again solidify. This goes for your pies too🌟
