Gluten-Free Savory Pie Crust

Sharing is caring!

Gluten-Free Savory Pie Crust is so flavorful and flaky which will bring back memories of your favorite pot pie recipe.

Needless to say, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. By the way, I enjoyed the time with my family and my husband’s mom and sister. In fact, we all ate way too much food. We made dinner together, ate, and played cards. When we get together we often play cards. What did we play you may ask? Of course, we played a game called Phase 10. To tell the truth, it is a fun game.

Not to mention, the day after Thanksgiving is always the best as I don’t cook. As we just heat up leftovers and everyone makes a plate whenever they get hungry. Indeed, my favorite is just snacking on this or that the whole day. But after the first day of leftover, I usually want to do something else with the leftovers. Thus, I have a couple of pie crust recipes. However, I thought why not place herbs and chicken broth in the pie crust. Hence, this crust is simply delicious. If you like, decorate with a little freshly chopped parsley. I use my 9-inch deep-dish pie plate which holds 6 cups.

Gluten-Free Savory Pie Crust

Ingredients:

2/3 cup of cassava flour

1/4 teaspoon rosemary wine salt

1/4 teaspoon sage

1/3 cup coconut oil

1 beaten egg

1/4 cup homemade chicken broth or turkey broth or store-bought

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.  Blend together the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Next, add the well-beaten egg and cold poultry broth. If it is too crumbly add a tablespoon of water at a time until it is soft and pliable and not cracking.

Next, lay down two sheets of plastic wrap side by side and overlapping. Then lay down the pie crust dough on the two sheets of plastic. Lay down two sheets side by side of overlapping plastic wrap on top of the pie crust dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to the correct shape and size.

Carefully remove the top layer of plastic making sure it does not stick. Using the plastic wrap carefully lift up the crust. Lay the crust into the pan while carefully removing the bottom layer of plastic wrap. If pieces fall off gently press on to where they are needed. Remove any excess with your fingers or a knife. Prick the bottom with a knife.

*Notes for pie fillings: You can either fill the pie with pie filling and bake. Or bake and fill with a cold filling inside. Go around the edge of your pie pan crimping the dough to make a decorative edge.

This makes one crust. Can use as a top crust for Chicken Pot Pie or double the recipe and make a top and bottom crust.

Don’t forget to egg wash the top of the crust. If filling with warm ingredients allow to cool before topping with the crust.

Egg Wash

1 beaten egg

1 tablespoon water

Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine beaten egg and water. Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash using a pastry brush. Wash the top and sides of the crust.
