Coconut Flour Pie Crust Recipe Low Carb Gluten Free Food

COCONUT FLOUR LOW CARB PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 and place the rack in the center of the oven. This recipe is for a 9" pie crust. I lightly spray my pie pan for nonstick.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the coconut flour and the salt.
• Next, in a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, eggs, and the sugar alternative
• For the next step, we will add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the wet ingredients in the second bowl. Because we are working with coconut flour, we will gently stir it into the wet ingredients and allow it to set for a few minutes. This will allow the flour to absorb the liquid. The work the dough into a ball.
• Work the ball into the prepared pie dish and then poke a few breathing holes into the crust using a fork. Bake this crust for 8-10 minuter or until it begins to brown. Then allow it to cool.

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients to a food processor. Mix the crust for 30 seconds to a minute until the dough forms small balls. Then transfer the dough to a zip bag and roll into a ball. Let the dough chill for 15-20 minutes.
• Remove the dough from the bag and press into the centre of a pie pan. Flatten the crust with the palm of your hand and work the crust up to the edges of the pan, trying to make the crust even.
• Prick the bottom of the crust several times with a fork. Then use the form to press a pattern around the edge of the crust. Cover the edges of the crust with small strips of foil.
• Fill the pie crust with your desired filling and bake according to the directions for that pie. If making a pie that requires a prebaked shell then preheat the oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes. Then remove the crust and let it cool completely before adding the filling.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9 in (23 cm) round pie pan with parchment paper, or grease well.
• Combine the coconut flour, butter, erythritol, and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse until well combined.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Process again until dough forms.
• Press the coconut flour pie crust dough into the pie pan. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork or toothpick.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, until firm and just barely golden on the edges. Rest on the counter for at least 10 minutes before adding filling, then you can bake again as needed for the filling. If the edges start to brown too much before the filling is done, you can cover them with foil. Cool completely before cutting.

LOW CARB PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Mix together the flax meal, almond flour and salt. In a separate microwave-safe container, melt the butter in a microwave and stir in the Splenda. Now mix both together thoroughly.
• This batter will be a soft goo. Spread the batter out with a spatula into a 9" pie plate. Cook it for about 12 minutes at 375F, or until the crust is relatively firm and a bit on the brownish side. Let it cool thoroughly.
• This recipe is great for making ahead of time and freezing, then pulling out when you have a pie you want to make. Put the crust in the fridge for about an hour before using it, so that the dough is nice and firm before you add in the pie ingredients.
• If you divide your pie up into 8 slices, each slice will have about 2g in net carbs from the pie crust material. Compare that with many commercial pie crusts which can reach 10g or more per slice! It's definitely worth it to make your own pie crusts, no matter what kind of a diet you are on. It saves you money, too!
• If your local store does not carry almond flour, it's easy enough to buy online. Just do a Google search to find a few vendors.

COCONUT FLOUR PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease a 9 inch pie plate with butter or coconut oil.
• In a large mixing bowl (or a food processor) add the coconut flour beaten eggs (room temperature), melted coconut oil (not hot--lukewarm), and salt or sweetener depending whether you are making a savory or sweet pie.
• Combine with a spoon. The dough is wet at first and dry as you go. After 30 seconds, use your hands to knead the dough, it should take 90 seconds or less to form a dough ball. Food processor will be quicker. Gather the pieces into a ball with your hands if using food processor.
• If you don't feel like rolling the dough, simply place the dough ball into the center of the pie pan. Press with your hand to flatten the ball. If it becomes crumbly again you will want to have a shortbread coconut pie crust. Use your finger to spread and press evenly all over the pan until it forms a smooth crust.
• Use the back of a spoon to press the dough to the pan and smooth the surface. The more you press, the better it will hold together when serving.
• Prick crust prior to baking. Prebake 15 minutes at 350. Remove from the oven and add your sweet or savory filling. Return to the oven until filling is set--about 40 to 50 minutes for a pie or 30 to 40 minutes for a quiche.
