METHOD

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350° F. Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, place the bowl on the stand mixer and insert the dough hook, add gradually the spinach puree and other wet ingredients and knead until smooth and stretchy. Add a little flour if dough is sticky, add just 1 teaspoon at a time and add a little water if the dough is too crumbly. Put dough into a medium bowl, cover and keep in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Coat your work surface with flour and divide dough into two equal parts. Roll out one of the dough balls and transfer into a 28cm tart pan.

Step 3

Dock the pastry dough with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 4

Par bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes and allow the pie crust to cool at room temperature.

Step 5

Roll out the remaining pastry, cut off a piece to cover the whole pie and cut out some decorative holes on the pastry with your cookie cutter. Pour the prepared berry sauce into the pie shell and place the pastry carefully over the top to cover the pie.

Step 6

Put the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes (baking time vary) Allow pie to cool completely at room temperature before serving.

STORAGE

Keep the pie at room temperature within the first 12 hours after baking. Store the pie thereafter in the refrigerator and enjoy within the next 2 days. I usually warm this amazing pie after refrigerating for 10 minutes in the oven before serving.
