ITALIAN RICOTTA PIE
Please note: The dough for the crust is very delicate and very soft. This is normal and if it breaks as you put it into the pie plate, it can easily be repaired by pressing the tear together. (So don't worry at all if it doesn't roll out and transfer perfectly to the pie plate.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bring 2 or more quarts of water to boil on stove. In the bottom rack of the preheated oven, place a baking dish such as a 9×13-inch baking dish and fill with the hot, boiled water. Place another oven rack directly over that to next rack position.
- In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder and sugar. Stir to combine.
- In a smaller bowl combine egg yolks, milk, olive oil, and both extracts.
- Make a hole in the center of the flour and pour in liquid. With a wooden spoon, mix to combine. (If the mixture gets too difficult to combine with a wooden spoon, used your hands to finish mixing).
- Flour your countertop well and place the dough ball in the center, pressing to form a round disc. Keep flouring, pressing and flipping. Flour a rolling pin and gently roll to a circle an inch or two larger than a deep dish 9-inch pie plate.
- Either fold the dough in half and place over half the pie plate, flipping other half over or roll the dough onto your rolling pin than back over the pie plate. Again, the dough is soft and delicate so be gentle.
- Use your fingers to form and press the dough into the confines of the pie dish, crimping the top edge all the way around (as you would any other pie) by pinching with thumb and index finger. Set aside, the shell is not pre-baked.
- Make the filling by placing the ricotta in a large bowl and mixing in sugar until combined.
- Add whole eggs, egg whites and vanilla and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. If lumpy, use a wire whisk to smooth out.
- Pour directly into unbaked crust. Cover the crust edge with foil or pie crust shield so the edges don't get too browned as the pie bakes.
- Place pie in the center of oven on the rack over the water bath and bake for one hour and ten minutes. Turn off oven but leave the pie in the oven for ten more minutes. (Don't open the oven door during any of the time that the pie is in the oven.)
- Carefully remove the pie from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. (Cool completely before refrigerating - if you put the pie in the refrigerator while still warm, it will weep slightly and collect moisture on top.) Chill overnight uncovered.
- Once chilled, cut and serve.
RICOTTA PIE (OLD ITALIAN RECIPE)
This is an old Italian recipe for a pie with a sweet crust--just like from the old country. My in-laws are Italian and they say that this is the best pie. It is always requested for Christmas. Mini chocolate bits and lemon rind can be mixed into the batter.

Steps:
- Beat the 12 eggs, 2 cups sugar and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Stir in the ricotta cheese and the chocolate chips, if using (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and 1 cup sugar together. Cut in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in 4 beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Divide dough into 4 balls, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two deep-dish pie plates.
- Roll out 2 of the balls to fit into the pie pans. Do not make the crust too thick, as it will expand during cooking. Do not flute the edges of the dough. Roll out the other 2 balls of dough and cut each into 8 narrow strips for the top of the crust. (Alternately, you can use cookie cutters and place the cutouts on the top of the pies.)
- Pour the ricotta filling evenly into the pie crusts. Top each pie with 8 narrow strips of dough or cookie cut-outs. Brush top of pie with milk for shine, if desired. Place foil on the edge of crust.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes; remove foil. Rotate pies on the rack so they will bake evenly. Continue to bake until a knife inserted in the center of each pie comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes more. Cool completely on wire racks. Refrigerate until serving.

- Mix in lightly beaten eggs and vanilla extract just until incorporated.
- Divide dough in half, wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough to fit into 2 greased pie plates.
- (Not too thick though, because this dough will expand due to the baking powder and eggs.)
- The dough is crumbly so I don't suggest fluting the edges.
- Pour the ricotta filling evenly into both pie pans.
- Shield edges of crust all the way around with foil and place pies in the oven.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and rotate pies if needed so they cook evenly.

- Cool completely, then refrigerate before serving.
- Optional: garnish with whipped cream and lemon zest if desired.
ITALIAN RICOTTA PIE
This is an old Italian recipe that is usually made for the holidays, particularly for Easter, but is good any time of the year. Note that baking time is actually 1 hour and 20 minutes. When I enter that in the cook time, it comes out as a crazy fraction.

Steps:
- Zest the lemon and divide the zested lemon equally for crust and filling. Put aside the filling half for later.
- Beat together half the zest, 1 egg plus 1 yolk. set aside.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk, or simply dump into a food processor.
- Add egg mixture, mix together or just add if using processor.
- Add the cold butter. mash with a fork, or chop together with butter knives or mezzaluna. If using food processor, pulse a few times until well combined.The mixture will seem dry and mealy. That is correct.
- Dump the crust mixture unto a marble pastry board or lightly floured surface and knead until you can comfortable make a ball. It will seem very crumbly at first, have patience. If you absolutely have to add a teaspoon of lemon juice to moisten dough.
- Wrap up the dough ball with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface until you have a circle larger than your pie pan by at least a couple inches on each side.
- Roll the crust gently into the rolling pin to help transfer it to the pie pan. Tuck to into the pan and trim off excess dough. If you have any tears in the crust simply fill them in and smooth out. The dough is forgiving.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with the tines of a fork every inch or so. If you have pie weights spread them over bottom of crust.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. It will be cooked through, but not starting to brown.
- While baking the crust, start making the crust. Begin by whisking together the eggs and extra white in a large bowl.
- Add the rest of the filling ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon or spatula until smooth enough to finish mixing with a whisk.I do not recommend using an appliance for this step. It is best done by hand, so as to not break down the ricotta too much.
- Pour the filling batter into the crust.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes. It is done when roughly halfway to the center is set, but middle is still jiggly.
- After baking allow the pie to cool fully before serving. Place in refrigerator once fully cooled.

Steps:
- To make the pie crust: Into a bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the shortening and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoons of the ice water. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and toss to combine, adding more water, if necessary, to form a dough. Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic, until firm.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle 1/8-inch thick and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edge, prick the bottom, and chill while making the filling.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the ricotta with the sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and cinnamon. Stir in the candied fruit and chocolate chips. Pour the filling into the pie shell.
- Bake the pie for 45 minutes, or until just set. Let cool and chill.
