Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 Hi I made a Swiss Chard Pie with an olive oil crust from Martha Stewart. The cust only had flour, water and olive oil. It was not great. Anyone got a better recipe? Thanks Sunny Quote
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 It probably needed salt.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 It had salt. The problem was that the dough was tough. Since then I have found another recipe for Tiella that has a yeast crust made with semolina flour.

I was curious about this so went searching and found http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/578053 which uses a mix of two flours, half semolina, plus yeast. (No oil - not needed in this kind of dough.) Was the one you found something like this? I like using yeast crusts - avoids the problem of added fats. Other tiella recipes I know don't use a pastry or crust at all but put vegetables such as sliced potatoes or eggplant/aubergine on the bottom, whatever veg 'filling' on top of that, and crumbs as a final topping. I'd love to know how yours turns out - even if you don't send the recipe straight away (or at all). Best, Pat Quote
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Dear Pat, Thanks for posting. You found the same Tiella recipe that I found! I love your idea of using potatoes, brinjals etc. Here is the recipe for the crust that I made. It is from the March 2010 Every Day Food. Olive Oil Crust In a bowl combine 2 ½  cups all purpose flour, 1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil, ½  c. cold water, and ¾ t. coarse salt. Stir with a fork to combine, then turn out onto a work surface and knead 1 minute. Cover dough with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature, 30 minutes.  Sunny ________________________________ Pat <drpatsant Wed, March 31, 2010 3:01:30 AM Re: Looking for a Vegan Pie Crust recipe  > . . .

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 Yes, we liked the idea too! About the crust - that's the one you did NOT like, right???? I'd think it might be a bit tough, but what would I know since it's so long since I made pastry lol Best, Pat --- " If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.
