After rolling out your pie dough, take the extra overhanging pieces of dough and roll them into a ball . These are the pieces that are often to large for your lower pie crust and place them in the freezer. consequent the subsequent steps of your formula and just before you add the pie to the oven, grab your extraneous dough.

Roll the extra dough out at the same consistency of your pie crust and take your themed cookie cutter and stamp away. Be sure to flour the outside frequently, as this will forestall your pieces from sticking. If you don't have a cookie cutter, take a small knife and cut stars, leaves or candy canes. Place your dough pieces around the edge of the pie in a decorative fashion. On fruit pies, I prefer to place the shapes overlapping to form a decorative faux lattice work.

2. Braiding is a perfect easy pie design. Like before, take your leftover dough and roll it into a rectangle. Cut the dough into half inch strips (I prefer using a pizza cutter). Take the long strips and braid them gently. If the pie crust gets to warm and starts to break, put it back in the freezer for 15 minutes.
When you get to the end of a section, grab three more strips and couple into the original three by smooching them in. Keep braiding until you have a braid long adequate to go around the edge of the pie. Press firmly on the edge of your pie.

3. The fold around formula gives you a geometric fabricate centered around an open hole in the middle and is ideal for fruit pies. Most easy pie dough recipes will give you adequate for a top and lowest crust, so when it tells you to divide them into two discs, just keep them as one.

Roll out the full dough formula and cut it into a circle 3 inches longer than your pie plate. Add the large dough circle to your pie plate and fill. Fold one side of the dough in and keep folding along to the left of the first fold. The dough will over lap on itself and create a hole in the center.
