Knead's Classic Pecan Pie with Flaky Sourdough Crust recipe

INGREDIENTS

Sourdough pie crust:

  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1¼ cups cold butter, cubed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. Knead sourdough discard
  • 2 Tbsp. milk

Pecan pie filling:

  • 2.5 firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1¼ tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2.5 oz. water
  • 2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil
  • 2 cups pecans

PREPARATION

For the pie crust:
• In a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt and cold cubed butter. Mix on slow to medium speed until mixture begins to look like moist sand with small and large pieces of butter throughout, about 2 to 3 mins. Add the eggs, Knead sourdough discard and milk and continue mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two equal pieces, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the pie dough into a circle, about ?-inch thick. Place the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Any excess dough can be cut off or crimped to make a decorative edge around the pan. Repeat with remaining dough. Refrigerate the panned pie crusts at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure they do not shrink while baking.

For the filling:
• In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the eggs, water and vanilla and whisk together until everything is wet and thoroughly combined. Slowly whisk in the grapeseed oil until incorporated. Set aside

For the pie:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degree.
• Place 1 cup pecans in each of the two pie crusts, then divide the filling evenly between the two.
• Bake pies on a baking sheet until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.

Made by Lia?'s Salted Maple Pie recipe

INGREDIENTS

Pie crust:

  • 1¾ to 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • ¾ tsp. salt
  • ¾ cup (1½ sticks) cold, unsalted butter
  • ½ to ¾ cup ice water

Filling:

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • ? cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup fine yellow cornmeal
  • ¼ heaping tsp. kosher salt
  • 3 room-temperature eggs
  • 1 room-temperature egg yolk
  • ¾ cup room-temperature heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

PREPARATION

For the pie crust:
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and salt. Cut the cold butter into cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork or your hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until chunks of butter are about the size of a pea.
• Add Œ cup ice-cold water and gently combine. Continue to add water a little bit at a time until the dough just comes together. (You may not use the entire Ÿ cup ice water). The dough should not be sticky – if you added too much water, add a little more flour but try not to overwork the dough!
• Form the dough into 2 equal discs, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight.

 For the filling and pie:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the refrigerated pie dough discs into a 12-inch circle, reserving the other for another use. Gently transfer to a pie pan and crimp the edges as desired. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes.
• Line the pie crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and bake until the bottom of the pie just begins to brown, about 5 more minutes. Set aside and let cool.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup. Add the brown sugar, cornmeal and salt and whisk until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg yolk until well combined. Whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
• Slowly pour the egg mixture into the maple mixture and whisk until well combined.
• Pour the filling into the par-baked pie crust and brush the crust with heavy cream.
• Bake until the pie is puffed in the center and still slightly jiggly, about 55 minutes, rotating the pie halfway through.
• Let cool and set 4 to 6 hours or overnight. Top with flakey sea salt and serve.

Pint Size Bakery's Fancy's Pumpkin Pie recipe

INGREDIENTS

Pâte Brisée Pie Crust:*
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. sugar
  • ¾ cup (1½ sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into walnut-sized pieces
  • ½ cup ice cold water
  • 1 Tbsp. apple cider or white vinegar
Filling:
  • 2 Tbsp. unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt
  • ¾ tsp. ground ginger**
  • ¾ tsp. ground cinnamon**
  • ? tsp. ground clove**
  • ? tsp. ground cardamom**
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg**
  • 1 pinch ground allspice**
  • ? cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1? cups pumpkin puree
  • 1? cups sweetened condensed milk

*This recipe creates enough dough for two pie crusts. Wrap the remainder tightly and freeze for later. Thaw frozen pie crust in the refrigerator for several hours when ready to use. 

**Use these spices or substitute two teaspoons pumpkin pie spice.

PREPARATION

For the crust:
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar. Add half the very cold butter and work it into the flour mixture by hand until a cornmeal texture is reached. Add the remaining cold butter and rub it into the flour mixture until pieces are the size of hazelnuts.
• Add the cold water and vinegar and gently toss together using a fork to create a rough, shaggy dough. The dough should still be dry and crumbly, but will form together when squeezed. Divide the dough in half for the next stage, called fraisage.
• On a lightly floured work surface, smear one half of the dough with the heal of your hand, ball it up and repeat 2 to 3 more times until a cohesive dough has formed. This little trick makes the flakiest crust. Form each half into a round, wrap in plastic and chill 2 hours or up to 2 days.

For the filing:
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, ginger, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice and brown sugar until no lumps remain. Whisk the eggs into the flour mixture, then the pumpkin puree and sweetened condensed milk. Use immediately or refrigerate the filling overnight or up to 4 days for superior texture.

For the pie:
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll one of the chilled dough rounds into a 12-inch circle, about ?- to Œ-inch thick. Reserved the other half of the dough for another use.
• Lay the dough into a 9-inch or 10-inch deep dish tart or pie pan, form a crimped edge and thoroughly dock the bottom with a fork. Freeze the pie shell 20 minutes (or up to a month).
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Line the frozen pie crust with parchment and fill with dried beans or raw rice. Bake 15 minutes, remove the weights and continue baking until golden brown, another 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Pour the prepared pumpkin pie filling into the par-baked crust and bake on a sheet tray until the top is starting to brown around the edges and the center is slightly puffed, about 45 minutes. The pie will be a bit jiggly, but don’t be tempted to bake until firm or the custard will curdle. Baked pie keeps at room temperature for several days.
