Strawberries & Cream Pie
 
Makes 1 (9-inch) pie
Ingredients
  • Pie Dough (recipe follows), divided
  • 6 cups (882 grams) ½-inch-diced fresh strawberries
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (60 grams) tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoons (2 grams) lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons (12 grams) vanilla bean paste
  • 1 large egg (50 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water
  • Sparkling sugar, for sprinkling
  • Vanilla Whipped Cream (recipe follows)
  • Garnish: halved fresh strawberries
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with baking spray with flour.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of Pie Dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to prepared plate, pressing into bottom and up sides. Trim edges to ¼ inch past rim of plate, if necessary.
  3. In a large bowl, toss together strawberries, granulated sugar, flour, lemon zest and juice, and vanilla bean paste. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into prepared crust.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll remaining Pie Dough into a 12-inch circle. Cut into 1-inch-wide strips. Place 6 dough strips horizontally on pie, spacing evenly apart. Fold back alternating strips, and place 1 dough strip vertically across horizontal strips; unfold folded strips. Fold back alternating horizontal strips, and place another vertical strip across first strips, spacing evenly. Unfold horizontal folded strips and then fold back alternating horizontal strips. Place another vertical strip across first strips, spacing evenly. Unfold horizontal folded strips. Repeat with remaining vertical strips. Press strips into bottom crust, and trim strips even with bottom crust. Fold edges under, and crimp, if desired. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water until smooth. Brush onto prepared crust. Sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Place pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (180°C), and bake until filling is bubbly in center, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 35 minutes, covering with foil after 30 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning. Let cool completely before serving. Serve with Vanilla Whipped Cream. Garnish with halved strawberries, if desired.
