5. Preheat the oven to 220°C or 425°F. |
|
Roll out the other smaller dough (Pic 44) into a triangular evenly (Pic 45) with the length the same as the diameter of the pie pan (Pic 46, 47). |
|
|
|
|
|
Use a cookie cutter and cut the crust into stripes 1/2 inch in width each (Pic 48). |
|
|
|
Brush some water on top of the fillings to help the stripes stick to the raisins (Pic 49). |
|
|
|
Lay out half of the strips evenly on the top of the fillings 1/2 inch apart (Pic 50). |
|
|
|
Fold up every other strips (Pic 51). |
|
|
|
In the middle of the pie, lay out another strip 90 degree across (Pic 52). |
|
|
|
Fold back the strips gently (Pic 53), then fold up the remaining strips, lay out another strip across 1/2 inch apart (Pic 54). |
|
|
|
Repeat until the criss-crossing design is complete (Pic 55, 56). |
|
|
|
Trim the excess piecrust at the edge (Pic 57). |
|
|
|
Seal the upper and lower piecrust and make a decorative edge. Let the pie sit for about 30 minutes (Pic 58, 59). |
|
|
|
|
6. Place the pie on the lower rack in pre heated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. To avoid burning, cover the pie with a 12 inch aluminum sheet (cut a hole in the middle) and continue to bake. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. Cut into smaller pieces when serving (Pic 60). |
