Why Did my Homemade Gluten-free Pie Crust fall apart?

Gluten-free pie crust is tricky cause the GF flour is not as stretchy and can be trickier to move from rolled out to your pie pan.

Use Xanthan Gum to make it more pliable. The Egg also makes it stay together. Adding some grinded chia seeds that are most helps too.

Don’t make it as thin as regular pie crust. Try rolling it out on parchment paper like I do with pizza dough.

I forgot to use parchment paper here and my dough did have a few pieces I had to use water and put back together in the pie pan.

Ingredients

  

Mix dry ingredients

• 1 cup gluten-free flour I used Bob's Mills GF All-purpose, you can use 1-1 but make need a touch of cold water
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2` tsp xanthan gum optional
• 1/2 tsp sea salt or himalayan salt

Add Butter and mix.

• 6 tbsp cold butter slice before mixing with dry ingredients. Can use Earth Balance butter.

Whisk egg and acid (vinegar or lemon juice) till foamy. Then add to mixture

• 1 large egg* or flaxseed / chia egg ADD
• 2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions

 

• *For egg – free – substitute 3 tbsp of cold water with 1 tbsp grounded flaxseed or chia seed.
• Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl – Gluten-free flour (use either all-purpose as I did or 1 to 1 Gluten-free).
• Slice cold butter then add to dry mixture.
• Whisk egg and vinegar or lemon juice till foamy. Then add to mixture.
• If dry, add a touch of cold water. Form dough into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Add Gluten-free flour to the parchment paper and rolling pin.
• Transfer to pie pan
• Cook 375 for 20 min – optional with beans ontop of parchment paper will weigh down the crust if you are baking it with no toppings in it – this is done to avoid crust bubbles.

For baking:

• Follow recipe.

  To bake the pie crust alone, bake at 400oF (205oC)for 15-20 minutes. With pie filling, bake at 400oF (205oC) for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 350°F for an additional 40 minutes.

  For custard at 375oF (190oC) for 15-20 min then add custard (and fruit optional) at 350oF for 50 min.
