Week 47 Intro and Weekly Discussion: Pies and Tarts
Week 47 Intro and Weekly Discussion: Pies and Tarts
Hello, bakers! This week’s challenge is Pies and Tarts, so whether you’re leaning toward a buttery, flaky pie crust or a tender, crumbly tart dough, there are plenty of options to explore!
There’s no one “right” dough here—shortcrust pastry is great for a firmer base, pâte sucrée (a sweet tart dough) adds sweetness and structure, and even graham cracker or cookie crusts bring their own charm. So, roll, press, or pat out whichever dough feels right for your pie or tart vision, and let the filling inspiration follow.
Some ideas for you to try:
Cherry Berry Pie
Vegan Chocolate and Strawberry Custard Tart
Mushroom and Asparagus Tart
Peach Hand Pies
Let's see those golden-brown edges and beautifully filled centers—happy baking!
