SOURDOUGH PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the flour mixture, shortening, butter, vinegar, sourdough discard and two tablespoons of ice water into the bowl of a food processor. Put the lid on and pulse until the dough starts to come together.
• Open the lid, scrape the sides and make sure that the ingredients are getting mixed evenly.
• Put the lid back on and pulse again until completely combined. If needed, add another tablespoon or two of ice water or until the dough is holding together but don't add so much water that it is sticky.
• Split the dough into two dough balls.
• Note: This sourdough is best if you refrigerate it for an hour before baking. You can roll it out first so it is easier, or you can flatten the dough balls into discs, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
• After the dough has refrigerated for one hour, sprinkle flour on the work surface and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough about 1/2 an inch larger than your pie pan.
• Lay the crust in the pie dish and press down lightly on the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
• If you are making just a bottom crust, turn the edge under and use thumbs "flute" the edges of the dough.
• If you are making a double pie crust, tear off any excess, roll out the second dough ball and lay it over top the pie filling.
• Flute the edges, poke holes in the top and bake as directed in your pie recipe.

SOURDOUGH PIE CRUST

Steps:

• For starter:.
• Do not use metal bowls or spoons!
• Combine cup water and yeast in a glass, ceramic, or plastic 5-cup or larger bowl and let stand for 15 minutes. Reusable/disposable food storage boxes work well.
• Stir in flour and cup sugar. Loosely cover with lid (or plastic wrap if your bowl does not have a lid).
• Stir daily the next 3 days. On the 4th day, you can either use the starter or "feed" it. To feed it, add 1 cup flour (white or wheat), 1 cup room temperature water, and 1/4 cup sugar (optional).
• Follow directions above, stirring the next 3 days (Days 5-7).
• On day 8, use one cup of the starter for your favorite recipe and reserve one cup for yourself to start over on day 4 of the cycle (feeding day).
• Pie Crust:.
• Combine sourdough starter, oil, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add flour, one cup at a time. Knead dough slightly, until it forms a soft dough that can be easily rolled out.
• Divide the dough in half. Place one half on a clean floured surface. Flour the dough lightly and roll fairly thin so it is big enough to fit in either a round pie plate or an 8 inch square pan.
• Place first piece of dough in greased pan and fill with your favorite pie filling. Roll second piece of dough and place on top of the filling. The edges should hang slightly over the edge of the pan. Cut off any edges and finish or pinch the edges shut so your filling will not leak out. You can also just fold it over if you wish (won't be as pretty, but it works).
• Bake for 20-25 minutes in a 350 degree oven or until crust is golden brown.
• Works well with plums and apples.
