How to roll out and transfer my
Goji Pie pie crust.
egg-free, gluten-free, casein-free

Hi everyone! We've made my pie crust from the Goji Pie recipe quite a few times now, and as Andy says while eating it, "I can't believe this crust is gluten-free." It's so good. But like some of you, I find the dough can break sometimes, and this makes it hard to transfer the crust to the dish. The reason is because this dough is made with whole, healthy ingredients. There isn't a ton of oil or shortening, there isn't any gum, and of course, there isn't any gluten. :-) Lacking these ingredients that are binding, I thought this dough deserved a little video. Now you can see how to make this crust work, because it tastes so good I don't want you to miss out on it! Cheers, Kelly

That's fantastic, Kelly! I've had so much trouble rolling out gf crusts.

And your girls (and you!) are adorable. Great tutorial.

Your girls make all of the videos so, so sweet! Real life stuff, too cute! :)

And of course, thanks for the pie crust tips! Ali :)

Thanks for the video! I'll have to give this a try.

Have you ever tried ground chia seeds in the filling? I find the tapioca pearl-like quality of whole chia seeds kind of off-putting and have wondered if grinding the seeds would help.

Thanks Liz!

Thanks Ali!

Thanks CV! I have been using flax seed meal and chia seed meal pretty interchangeably in these egg-free recipes (but half as much chia meal as flax meal). I get the chia seeds from the link in the post, and I grind them in my coffee grinder to make meal. Cheers, Kelly

I've never tried gluten-free pie crust, but I can imagine it can be tricky. You did a great job rolling it out in the video. Thank you for the very informative video.

Hi, there :) Do you have a post that shares why you are mostly grain free? Just curious.

Kelly said...

Thanks Nistrine!

Hi Brenna! I just posted about Baking Powder, and thinking of you, I included the answer to your question =)

I stumbled across your page via Facebook and another friend enjoying your food via another friend. Thank you God!! I am in the process of transitioning my family to a gluten free, wheat free, dairy free diet (due to allergies) and I have been so intimidated by cooking all of a sudden that I almost gave up in the kitchen and I am not a bad cook, just didn't really know how to think from this new angle. Anyhow, watching your videos is giving me hope. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

Kelly said...

Ahhh, Heidi, You are making me tear up girl! Thank you so much! I used to feel just like you have been! It will get easier, it will! XOXO
