Since you made the best pie dough and it is in the freezer you are wondering about your next step…

the best pie crust — how to make pie crust or dough

HOW TO ROLL OUT PIE CRUST

So, let me help you.

Your first step is to take out your pre-made frozen dough the night before.

When you are ready to roll out your dough, use generous amount of flour on your surface and rolling pin.

Place the dough on floured surface. Cover the dough with more flour.

Using your rolling pin, gently roll it from the center out, turning the dough with your hands as you go.

The idea is: turn-roll-turn-roll-turn-roll and so on….(you got idea, I hope)

IMPORTANT: Flour your surface and the top of the dough to prevent from sticking.

Don’t worry, this recipe likes a lots of flour. So be generous.

Your next question is how much to roll?

Roll the dough to fit your pie dish.

I am using 9 inch pie dish so I like to roll it a little longer, like 12 inch circle.

Transfer the dough to a 9 inch pie dish.

Press in and then use knife to trim extra.

After pressing it in, prick the base and the sides of the pie with a fork.

IMPORTANT! Prick the pie dough with the fork so that steam escapes while it’s baking.

And now we are done. Our next step is our next post.

Making the pie…what pie? Keep reading!

nutella cake with hazelnuts — nutella cake is the best cake

Review the Steps

-make 6 inch sponge cake

-Cool it

-Make yellow filling

-Melt chocolate. Cool it.

-Assembly the cake in this order:

sponge cake
Nutella
Jaffa cakes
half of the yellow filling
sprinkle with grounded hazelnuts
add melted chocolate to second part of yellow filling and you just made chocolate filling
add chocolate filing on top of yellow filling
decorate as you wish

Quick Note

Jaffa Cakes – you can buy in the Walmart (international section) or check amazon.

Hazelnut – use toasted hazelnuts. Do you know how to toast hazelnut? Check the LINK

Yellow Filling – If you want you can divide yellow filling into two separate bowls. Add melted chocolate to second part and mix it. So, you can do assembly faster but you will have two bowls to clean.

Butter – I used organic. It is expensive but I wanted to use the best ingredients for this Nutella cake.

Chocolate – I used semi-sweet. You can use your favorite. (unsweetened, 70% cocoa… and so on)

Vanilla Pudding – YOU CAN’T USE INSTANT. It has to be Dr. Oetker. (check the picture below)

MAKING Easy Sponge Cake in 6 inch pan

Ingredients

4 eggs

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 tsp baking powder (no aluminum)

2/3 flour, all purpose and unbleached

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Line bottoms of two 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper. (do not grease the sides or the bottom). Set aside.

Important: Eggs must be room temperature.

Add eggs and sugar into the mixing bowl.

Mix until the mixture becomes thick, fluffy and triples in volume, for about 9 minutes.

Important #2: Stop using mixer at this point. Find the SPATULA!

Sift 1/3 cup of flour and 1/4 tsp baking powder over the beaten egg and sugar. Using a rubber spatula, work in circular pattern, going over and under. This is very important. Be sure the flour is incorporated into egg sugar mixture.

Then sift again another 1/3 cup of flour and fold with a spatula. Stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain.

Important #3: Do not over-mix, mix until the flour is incorporated.

And that is it. You are done. You just made an easy, elegant sponge cake.

Divide the cake mixture between two 6 inch baking pans.

I used 2 cups of mixture for each pan.

Bake at 350 F for about 19 minutes or until done.

Use toothpick to test if cake is done. Insert the wooden toothpick near the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Cool the cake.
