Peach Pie With A Sourdough Crust Recipes

PEACH PIE THE OLD FASHIONED TWO CRUST WAY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Brush with some of the beaten egg to keep the dough from becoming soggy later.
• Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix gently. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the peaches, and mix gently. Pour into the pie crust, and dot with butter. Cover with the other pie crust, and fold the edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a fork dipped in egg. Brush the remaining egg over the top crust. Cut several slits in the top crust to vent steam.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents. If the edges brown to fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking. Cool before serving. This tastes better warm than hot.

PEACH SLAB PIE

Steps:

• For the fruit: In a bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice and salt. Stir and set aside.
• For the all-butter lemon pie crust: Combine the flour, salt and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter to gradually work it into the flour, until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. This step should take 3 or 4 minutes.
• Lightly beat the egg with a fork in a small bowl, then add it to the mixture. Next, add the cold water and vinegar and stir together until just combined.
• Divide the dough into 2 halves, form the halves into dough balls and place each ball into a resealable plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (to about 1/2 inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and chill for at least 20 minutes (or freeze if not using immediately).
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet with parchment, overhanging the parchment 3 inches on opposite sides of the baking sheet to resemble a sling (so you can lift the pie out).
• With a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, begin rolling each piece of dough into a 9-by-13-inch rectangle. Roll the dough from the center outward. Be gentle and patient; it'll take a little time to get the dough completely rolled out.
• Place one rectangle in the bottom of the prepared baking sheet. Spread out the fruit mixture evenly on top. Place the second crust on top of the fruit. Press and fold the edges together and crimp. Cut several vents in the top of the pastry in a flower pattern.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool for about an hour before lifting out and cutting.

PEACH PIE WITH A SOURDOUGH CRUST

Steps:

• Pie Crust
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a food processor or by hand with a pastry blender), mix together all of the ingredients but the ice water. Break the sourdough starter into pieces before beginning to mix, and stop mixing while the chunks of butter are still visible and about almond sized.
• Add the ice water slowly and only as much as needed to bring the dough together.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop and roll it into a rectangle, ¼-1/2 inch thick. Flour the top surface, flip the sheet, and flour the second side. Fold the dough into quarters. Repeat the process a second time, then wrap your small square of dough in plastic and refrigerate for several hours and up to three days.
• Before rolling your pie crust, cut it in half, cover it again and let the dough warm up 20-30 minutes.
• Filling
• Mix the cut up peaches and sugars in a bowl, cover and set aside for about an hour.
• Strain the juice from the peaches into a medium sauce pan. Set aside the peaches.
• Add the corn starch, grated apple and spices. Whisk the contents of the sauce pan over low-med heat, bringing it to a simmer for a couple of minutes. You can add a little water if the mixture seems too dry. It shouldn't break into chunks when stirred, but it should be thick enough to cling to your spoon.
• Add the butter and lemon juice until incorporated and then turn off the heat. Add the strained fruit into the saucepan and mix gently.
• Pie Assembly
• Preheat your oven to 400F.
• Roll your bottom pie crust and lay it in a standard sized pie dish.
• Roll your top pie crust. (I do this before filling the bottom crust to reduce the time for the bottom crust to get soggy.)
• Pour the filling into the base of the pie.
• Top the pie with the second crust, and trim and crimp the edges.
• Cut slits in the top crust and brush with a lightly beaten egg. If you want, you can decorate the pie with crust scraps and brush those with egg as well.
• Sprinkle the top of the pie with sugar and wrap the edges in aluminum foil.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes on a lower-middle shelf. Slide a baking sheet under the pie and remove the foil around the edges for the last 10 -20 minutes of baking. Fruit juice bubbling through the crust and dripping down is my sign that the pie is ready.
• Let the pie cool on a rack at least an hour before serving.

SPICED PEACH PIE WITH BUTTERMILK CRUST

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and lard; cut in using on/off turns until fat is reduced to pea-size pieces, about 25 turns. Using on/off turns, blend in 3/4 cup buttermilk until dough just comes together in moist clumps, adding more buttermilk if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball. Divide into 2 pieces, 1 slightly larger than the other. Flatten each into disk. Wrap disks in plastic; chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Make filling:
• Mix 3/4 cup sugar and next 4 ingredients in large bowl. Cook peaches in pot of boiling water 30 seconds. Transfer to bowl of cold water; cool. Peel, halve and pit peaches. Slice peaches into bowl with sugar mixture; toss to coat. Let filling stand until juices form, stirring often, about 20 minutes.
• Place 1 rack in center and 1 rack at lowest position in oven; preheat to 400°F. Roll out larger dough disk on floured surface to 12- to 13-inch round. Transfer dough to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim overhang to 3/4 inch. Mound filling in dish; dot with butter. Roll out second disk on floured surface to 12-inch round. Gently roll up dough onto rolling pin; drape dough over filling. Pinch overhang and edge of top crust together. Fold edge under. Cut several slits in top crust. Crimp edge. Brush pie with beaten egg; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Place pie on center rack in oven. Bake 50 minutes. Place baking sheet on lowest rack to catch drippings. Continue to bake pie until crust is brown and juices bubble thickly through slits, covering very loosely with foil if top browns too quickly, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SINGLE CRUST PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Cream sugar and butter or margarine together. Add flour and nutmeg; mix until mealy. Spread 1/2 of mixture in pie crust. Arrange peaches on top of crumb mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top of peaches.
• Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for ten minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 40 minutes, or until brown.

FISH PIE WITH A SOURDOUGH CRUST

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/200 degrees Celsius.
• In a large sauté pan or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to take on color, about 5 minutes. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the flour and mustard powder, then add the milk, stock, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper, stirring to get rid of any lumps. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the tarragon, parsley and dill, then set aside to cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Add the salmon, halibut and shrimp to a 9-by-13-inch/23-by-33-centimeter baking dish. Sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of pepper, then top with the lemon zest and juice. Pour the sauce on top, stirring gently to combine.
• In a large bowl, toss the bread with the remaining 3 tablespoons melted butter until well coated. Transfer to the baking dish, gently pressing to submerge the bread cubes halfway into the base. Bake until golden and bubbling, 25 to 28 minutes. Set aside to cool for about 15 minutes.
• While the pie is in the oven, combine the reserved chopped herbs and oil in a small bowl. Drizzle this all over the pie right before serving.

PEACH CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Combine sugar, flour, butter, and salt in a bowl; mix with your fingers until it has a pea-sized, crumbly texture. Put 1/3 of the mixture into the pie crust.
• Lay peach halves, flat-sides down, onto the crumb mixture. Cut remaining peach halves into sections and place in between the halves to fill any spaces. Place remaining crumble mixture on top and sprinkle with nutmeg.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue to bake until set and golden, about 30 minutes more.

PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Place cookie sheet on oven rack. Heat oven to 400°F.
• In large bowl, mix sugar, flour and cinnamon. Stir in peaches and lemon juice. Spoon into frozen crust. While second crust is still in pan and frozen, remove crimp with sharp knife. Remove crust from pan and center frozen crust upside down on top of filled pie. Let thaw 10 minutes; crimp edges together. Cut 2 or 3 slits in top crust. Cover edge of crust with pie shield or foil strips.
• Bake on cookie sheet about 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice is thick and bubbly. Cover entire top of pie loosely with foil if crust is getting too brown. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours.
