Instructions

  1. On a clean flat surface, knead the crust combining all the crust ingredients.

  6. Cut and lay the parchment paper in both dishes and butter the paper well.

  7. Take the crust out of the fridge and divide into 2/3 for the bottoms and the sides and 1/3 for the lattice ribbons.

  8. Roll the crust to the size that covers the bottom and the sides of each dish.

  9. Roll out the remaining third of the crust and cut in into ribbons for the lattice.
