    Tender & Flaky Gluten-Free Pie Crust

    Published Nov 16, 2022

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This gloriously flaky gluten-free pie crust recipe rivals a wheat crust! It's super flavorful thanks to whole food ingredients: sweet rice, oat, and millet flours plus flax or chia seed (no xanthan gum!). A couple of classical pastry techniques make it easy to work with and give it extra layers.

    I'll show you how to use these ingredients and techniques to get the flakiest GF pie crust, plus how to shape and blind bake it for all your pie needs. Use it in sweet and savory pies, tarts, galettes, quiches and turnovers.

    The recipe is adapted from my award-winning cookbook Alternative Baker: Reinventing Dessert with Gluten-Free Grains and Flours.

    Looking for a flaky gluten-free pie crust that tastes like it was made with wheat flour? I've spent years developing a recipe that tastes and feels like a whole wheat pie crust – buttery, flaky, and full of flavor.

    Here's why this recipe is (IMHO) the best gluten-free pie crust out there:

    • It's super flaky and easy to work with. It can be rolled out, fluted, weaved, and crimped with ease.
    • It's made from whole-grain gluten-free flours that add nutritional value and loads of flavor. As a bonus, you don't need to source a particular flour blend to make it!
    • It's free of xanthan gum, which some folks are intolerant of (plus it just sounds icky!)
    • You'll feel like a professional pastry chef while you make it! I'll show you a couple of classic pastry techniques that create layers upon layers of flaky goodness.
    • It can easily be made dairy-free and vegan by using plant butter.
    • You can use it to make pies, savory tarts, galettes, and quiche.

    A Decade of Great Gluten-Free Pie

    I first developed this gluten-free pie crust recipe in 2013 and I loved it so much, it inspired me to write an entire cookbook about baking with alternative flours and seasonal produce! I was eating a slice of a crumb-topped apple pie ala mode made with this crust, and I literally forgot that it was gluten free. I knew I needed to share it with the world!

    This is *not* the simplest gf pie crust recipe out there. More conventional recipes rely on storebought gluten-free all-purpose flour blends that are loaded with starches and gums and don't have much nutritional value. They may be easy to make, but they tend to bake up pale, bland, and pasty.

    My recipe starts with whole-grain flours, enough starch to make the dough easy to work with, and flax or chia seed instead of any gums. It's one of the more advanced recipes in my book and on my site due to the number of flours and starches it uses (5) and the techniques it requires (fraisage and turns). But I've been making it over and over for the past ~10 years with no changes. It's very much worth the effort!

    But don't take my word for it. Here are a few things readers have said over the years in the comments section below:

    Seriously the best gf pie crust I’ve found. It’s the only pie crust recipe I use anymore!

    I just made this crust last night and it was the best gf crust I’ve made yet. The texture was fantastic and the dough was easy to work with.

    The crust was great! I even got a "this takes just like regular dough!" So flaky and crisp. Can't wait to try it again!

    Singularly the best pie crust I have ever made.

    Absolutely delicious! I used this recipe for two two-crust chicken pot pies, and the group I served them for loved them! One person commented that if this was how gluten-free tasted, then maybe they should go gluten free!

    This pie crust is amazingly good. Buttery, nutty flavor; nearly as easy to handle as wheat dough; and a lovely fine flakey texture. I also appreciate the whole-grain ingredients, and the use of chia instead of gum. 

    You nailed this recipe!! It was perfectly buttery, flaky magic! I can’t get over how amazing it is! This will forever be my go to gf pastry dough!

    I've recently added a few ingredient options to make this pie crust recipe more accessible (such as using pre-ground flax seed instead of having to grind your own chia seed). I've updated the post with beautiful process photos that Sarah helped me shoot for my book.

    And I've shared some of my favorite pie, tart, galette, and quiche recipes that you can make with this crust. You can find all my favorite gluten-free pie recipes here!

    My friends Nadia and Rob made a dreamy video of this pie crust (the teff flour version used for a plum frangipane galette from my book). You can see how the dough comes together between 7 minutes and 12 minutes in the video!

    Ingredients & Substitution Suggestions

    Flours

    I've tested this recipe with many different combinations of gluten-free flours and starches and this combination makes the flakiest, easy to work crust. I've added substitution suggestions in case of dietary restrictions or trouble sourcing ingredients. Substitute by weight for best results!

    I use Bob's Red Mill flours but any brand should work. You can find these at most well-stocked grocers.

    • Sweet rice flour adds stickiness and a neutral flavor.
      • Sub any GF AP blend (Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 is recommended as it uses sweet rice flour as its base).
    • Oat flour adds tenderness and a creamy / nutty flavor.
      • Sub sorghum flour.
    • Millet flour adds a buttery flavor and keeps the crust delicate.
      • Sub sorghum flour, or for a stronger flavor use buckwheat or teff flour.
    • Cornstarch makes the crust shatteringly crisp.
      • Sub more tapioca flour (though cornstarch works best!)
    • Tapioca flour makes the dough extensible (aka stretchy) so it's easy to work with.
      • Sub arrowroot flour.
    Pie crust ingredients are in a bowl
    Ingredients: Sweet rice, oat, and millet flours, tapioca flour, cornstarch, salt, sugar, ground chia seed / flax seed, butter, ice water, buttermilk / yogurt / vinegar (for acidity)

    Other Ingredients

    • Butter makes the crust rich and tender. For best results, use a high-quality European-style butter with a high fat content such as Kerrygold, Vermont Creamery, or Straus.
      • For a dairy-free & vegan pie crust, use a good plant-based butter such as Miyoko's cultured unsalted butter. Or get the recipe for a version made with coconut oil in my book!
    • Ground flax seed or chia seed add stickiness that make the dough smooth and pliable. For the most attractive crust, use golden flax or white chia seed. These take the place of the usual xanthan gum that's in most recipes.
      • Sub 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum.
    • Salt and a little sugar sharpen the flavors and promote browning. No need to omit the sugar if using this in a savory recipe; it just enhances the flavor and doesn't add much sweetness.
      • Sub maple sugar or coconut sugar.
    • Vinegar or lemon juice add acidity that keep the dough tender and prevent it from shrinking as it bakes.
      • Yogurt or buttermilk can also be used to add acidity – these make extra lovely dough since they add a little protein as well!
    • Ice water brings the dough together.
      • Sub chilled water.

    What Makes this Pie Crust so Flaky?

    Unlike most gluten-free pie crust recipes out there, my version uses two techniques to get big, tender flakes similar to a rough puff pastry.

    1. Fraisage: scraping portions of dough along the counter
    2. Turns: rolling the dough out and folding it up over itself

    When we leave big chunks of cold butter in the dough, these methods form the butter into long, wide sheets encased within multiple layers of dough.

    When the cold dough hits the heat of the oven, the butter sheets let off steam which raise the layer of dough above it.

    The process is downright magical and will make you feel like a badass pro baker when you pull your masterpiece from the oven. The photos below show these methods in action!

    How to Make a Gloriously Flaky Gluten-Free Pie Crust

    • This recipe makes enough dough for a single crust 9-inch pie or a 10-inch tart or galette. Double the recipe if you're making a double-crust pie such as this apple pie with a cut-out crust or a lattice pie.
    • This recipe takes several hours to complete, but much of the time is inactive chilling time (for both you and the dough!)
    • If you can, make the dough a day ahead. It gets smoother and more workable as the flours absorb moisture in the fridge. It can also be popped in a freezer-safe bag and frozen for up to a year.
    • I've shared two mixing methods for the dough: by hand and in a food processor. I usually use the food processor method, which makes the dough more smooth and pliable. But by hand, you have more control over the dough, which is best when you're just starting out, and it tends to be flakier since the butter can stay chunkier.

    Method: By Hand

    sliced butter has been added to a bowl of gluten-free flours

    Step 1: Combine the flours, chia or flax seed, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and scatter the butter pieces over the flour mixture.

    butter is being worked into the flour mixture
    cold butter has been worked into the gluten-free pie dough and looks like gravel in a bowl

    Step 2: Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles gravel with some butter chunks the size of almonds.

    liquid is being sprinkled into the loose pie crust dough to moisten it

    Step 3: Stir together the ice water and vinegar or lemon juice (or yogurt or buttermilk if using). Add the ice water mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing the dough with a flexible silicone spatula to moisten it evenly.

    liquid is being mixed into the pie dough to the consistency of gravel

    Step 4: Squeeze the dough; it should hold together easily without feeling overly wet or sticky, and there should be large pea-sized butter pieces throughout. Note that the dough should feel more moist than a wheat flour dough.

    Fraisage

    a hand is doing the fraisage method and smearing dough across a marble surface

    Step 5: To fraisage the dough, dump all the crumbly dough out onto a clean counter or work surface. Working quickly in order to keep the butter cold, use the palm of your hand to scrape portions of dough across the counter.

    showing the fraisage method - sheets of dough smeared on a marble board

    This will flatten those butter chunks into long sheets and bring the dough together, making it easier to handle. Use a metal bench scraper to scrape up the dough and gather it into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, a plastic bag, or (my favorite!) beeswax wrap and chill until firm, 30-60 minutes or up to 24 hours.

    Method: Food Processor

    pie dough in the food processor, freshly mixed

    Step 1: If using a food processor, combine the flours and starches, sugar, salt, and ground chia / flax seed in the bowl of a food processor. Scatter the butter pieces over the flours but don't run the mixer just yet!

    Step 2: Open the feed tube and pour in the ice water mixture in a slow and steady stream as you pulse the mixer. Squeeze the dough; it should hold together easily without feeling overly wet or sticky, and there should be large pea-sized butter pieces throughout. Gently pulse in more ice water by the teaspoon until this texture is achieved. Note that the dough should feel more moist than a wheat flour dough.

    Step 3: Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, a plastic bag, or (my favorite!) beeswax wrap and chill until firm, 30-60 minutes or up to 24 hours. It's not necessary to fraisage the dough if using this method since the butter gets broken down into smaller pieces.

    Method: Turn the Dough

    • Turning the dough (i.e. rolling it out and folding it over itself) is the method used to make croissants, puff pastry, and danish pastry.
    • Here it builds extra flaky layers and it also makes the dough more smooth, pliable, and easy to work.
    hands are rolling out the gf pie dough with a wood rolling pin

    Step 1: Whichever method you've used (by hand or in a food processor), use a rolling pin to begin to press and roll the dough into a large 1/4-inch thick rectangle or oval. The dough will crack and tear at first and that's ok – just smush it back together. Periodically dust the dough with oat flour, sweeping excess flour away with a dry pastry brush.

    the dough has been given a first turn: rolled out and folded into thirds

    Step 2: Fold the dough in thirds like folding a letter.

    the dough has been given a second turn

    Step 3: Then fold it in thirds the other way. Flatten the folded dough slightly, re-wrap, and chill until firm, 30 minutes.

    Step 4: Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 to give the dough an additional turn. The dough will be easier to roll and more smooth and pliable after the two sets of turns. Wrap the dough up and chill it again until firm, 30-60 minutes and up to 2 days. Or freeze the dough for up to 1 year.

    Shape the GF Pie Crust

    the pie crust has been shaped in a pan

    Step 1: To shape a gluten-free pie crust, roll the dough out into a 12-inch round. The dough will want to be a square because of the way we've folded it, so just do your best! Ease the dough into a 9-inch pie plate, taking care not to stretch the dough as this would cause it to shrink when baked. Fit it into the corners of the pan, and trim it to a 1-inch overhang. Fold the overhang of the crust under itself. Save the scraps to patch any tears in the dough.

    hands are fluting a gluten-free pie crust

    Step 2: Flute the crust by pressing it between the thumb of one hand and the index finger and thumb of the other hand.

    Step 3: Prick the bottom of the crust all over with the tines of a fork. This keeps it from puffing up in any one spot. Chill the crust until firm, 30-60 minutes, or cover and chill for up to 1 day. You can also freeze the crust at this point, but if using a glass pie pan, don't put it straight into a hot oven as it could shatter.

    Blind-baking this GF pie crust before adding the filling is the key for a crisp, golden crust and smooth filling, like in this gluten-free quiche recipe.

    Blind-Baking

    Blind-baking a pie crust means baking it for a time before you've added any filling. This method works best for custard-based pies where the filling takes less time to bake than the crust, such as quiche or pumpkin pie.

    Step 1: Place a piece of parchment paper in the chilled crust and fill to the top with pie weights or dried beans. Place the crust on a rimmed baking sheet (to make it easy to maneuver and catch any buttery drips) and bake in the lower third of the oven at 400ºF.

    Step 2: Bake the crust for 15-30 minutes (shorter for a metal pan, longer for a glass pan), until the crust will hold its shape when you lift off the parchment. Carefully remove the weights and parchment and bake until the bottom is dry and lightly golden, about 8-12 minutes longer (for a parbaked crust) or until deeply golden, 15-20 minutes (for a fully baked crust).

    Step 3: If there are any holes or tears in the dough, use the saved scraps of dough to patch them before adding the filling, baking for a few more minutes post-patching.

    TBG Tip: To keep the crust extra-crisp, brush the hot crust with a little bit of beaten egg white, then return to the oven for a minute or two. This creates a barrier between crust and filling, keeping the crust crisp for a couple of days after baking.

    Congratulations, you're now ready to fill and bake your gluten-free pie crust!

    Prep Time: 45 minutes
    Cook Time: 45 minutes
    Chilling time: 2 hours
    Total: 3 hours 30 minutes
    Servings: 8 servings (one 9-inch pie crust)

    Ingredients

    • 6-8 tablespoons ice water (from 1 cup ice cubes filled with cool water)
    • ½ cup (78 g) sweet white rice flour (preferably Mochiko brand)*
    • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (35 g) GF oat flour (preferably Bob's Red Mill)*
    • ¼ cup (35 g) millet flour (preferably Bob's Red Mill)*
    • ¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch*
    • 2 tablespoons (15 g) tapioca starch/flour*
    • 2 ½ tablespoons (15 g) finely ground golden flax seed or white chia seed (I grind mine in a coffee grinder)
    • 1 tablespoon (15 g) sugar (granulated, maple, or coconut)
    • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 8 tablespoons (115 g) cold, unsalted butter (preferably European-style such as Straus, Kerrygold, or Vermont Creamery), sliced ¼-inch thick
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice**

    Instructions

    Make the dough (by hand):

    • In a large bowl, combine the sweet rice, oat, and millet flours with the cornstarch, tapioca flour, ground flax or chia seed, sugar, and salt.
    • Scatter the butter pieces over the top, and work in the butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles gravel, with lots of butter chunks the size of almonds or large peas.
    • Stir together 6 tablespoons of the ice water, drained, with the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Sprinkle the water into the flour mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing the dough with a flexible silicone spatula to moisten it evenly.
    • Give the dough a sueeze: it should hold together easily without feeling overly wet or sticky. Toss in more ice water by the teaspoon until this texture is achieved, adding it directly to the dry floury bits that like to hang out on the bottom of the bowl. You may need up to 8 tablespoons of ice water, total (I always need the full amount but you may need more or less depending on how cold your butter is!). Note that this dough should feel more moist than a wheat flour dough. These GF flours perform better with more hydration and we don't have to worry about making it too moist because there are no glutens to turn tough.
    • Fraisage the dough: dump the crumbly dough out onto a clean counter or work surface. Working quickly in order to keep the butter cold, use the heel of your hand to scrape portions of dough across the counter.
    • Use a metal bench scraper to scrape up the dough and gather it into a ball. Flatten it into a disk and wrap the dough in plastic wrap, a plastic bag, or beeswax wrap. Chill until firm, 30-60 minutes or up to 24 hours.

    Make the dough (in a food processor):

    • If using a food processor, combine the flours and starches, sugar, salt, and ground chia / flax seed in the bowl of a food processor. Scatter the butter pieces over the flours but don't pulse just yet! Stir together 6 tablespoons of the ice water, drained, with the vinegar or lemon juice.
    • Open the feed tube and pour in the ice water in a slow and steady stream as you pulse the mixer. Squeeze the dough; it should hold together easily without feeling overly wet or sticky, and there should be large pea-sized butter pieces throughout. Gently pulse in more ice water by the teaspoon until this texture is achieved. Note that the dough should feel more moist than a wheat flour dough.
    • Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, a plastic bag, or beeswax wrap and chill until firm, 30-60 minutes or up to 24 hours. It's not necessary to fraisage the dough if using this method since the butter gets broken down into smaller pieces.

    Turn the Dough:

    • Whichever method you've used (by hand or in a food processor), remove the dough from the fridge, unwrap, and place it on clean work surface dusted lightly with oat flour. If the dough is very cold, it may need to soften for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to roll. (Note that if you don't have a metal bench scraper to move the dough around, it's best to roll out the dough on a sheet of parchment paper.)
    • Using a rolling pin, begin to press and roll the dough out into a large ¼-inch thick oval. The dough will crack and tear at first and that's ok, just smush it back together. Periodically dust the dough with oat flour, sweeping excess flour away with a dry pastry brush. Use the bench scraper to flip the dough over occasionally, dusting the dough with flour to keep it from sticking.
    • As you work, if the butter starts to soften or stick to the surface, pop it back in the fridge to firm up for 5-10 minutes.
    • Once the dough is rolled out to ¼-inch thickness, fold it in thirds like folding a letter. Then fold it in thirds the other way. Flatten the folded dough slightly, re-wrap, and chill until firm, 30-60 minutes or up to 24 hours.
    • Repeat the turning process one more time. The dough will become more and more cohesive and pliable as you work with it, which will make it easier to shape and help it bake up tender and flaky.
    • Wrap the dough and chill it again until firm, 30-60 minutes and up to 2 days. Or freeze the dough for up to 1 year until ready to use.

    Shape the crust:

    • Remove the dough from the fridge, unwrap, and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle, dusting the dough lightly with oat flour flour as needed, rotating and flipping it to prevent it from sticking.
    • Ease the dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate, fit it into the corners, and trim it to a 1-inch overhang. (Save the scraps to patch any tears in the dough post-parbaking.) Fold the overhang of the crust under itself, and flute the crust by pressing it between the thumb of one hand and the index finger and thumb of the other hand.
    • Prick the bottom of the crust all over with the tines of a fork (this is called "docking"). Chill the crust until firm, 30-60 minutes (or cover and chill for up to 24 hours, or freeze for up to several months.)

    Blind-Bake:

    • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400ºF.
    • Place the chilled crust on a rimmed baking sheet. Line it with a piece of parchment paper, and fill to the top with pie weights, dry beans, or clean pennies, gently pressing the weights into the sides and corners of the crust.
    • Bake the crust for 15-30 minutes (shorter for a metal pan, longer for a glass pan), until the edges are golden and the dough will hold its shape when you lift off the parchment. Carefully remove the weights and parchment and bake until the bottom is dry and lightly golden, about 8-12 minutes longer (for a parbaked crust) or until deeply golden, 15-20 minutes (for a fully baked crust). Use the saved scraps of dough to patch any holes, cracks, or tears in the dough, baking for a few more minutes post-patching.
    • Proceed with your pie recipe!

    Notes

    *Flour Substitutions (by weight):
    • Can sub for sweet rice flour: gluten-free all-purpose flour (such as Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1)
    • Can sub for oat flour: sorghum, chestnut, or light buckwheat flour
    • Can sub for millet flour: sorghum, teff, or buckwheat flour
    • Can sub for cornstarch: more tapioca flour
    • Can sub for tapioca flour: arrowroot flour
    **Variation with buttermilk (my favorite!):
    Omit the vinegar. For the liquid in the recipe, stir together 4 tablespoons cold buttermilk with 4 tablespoons of ice water. Proceed with the recipe, adding more ice water if needed to moisten the dough after all the buttermilk mixture has been added.
    **Variation with yogurt:
    Omit the vinegar. For the liquid in the recipe, stir together 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (any kind will do – dairy or plant-based) with 6 tablespoons of ice water. Proceed with the recipe, adding more ice water if needed to moisten the dough after all the yogurt mixture has been added.
    Variation with sorghum flour:
    Omit the millet flour, using 1/4 cup (30 g) sorghum flour in its place.
    Variation with buckwheat flour or teff flour:
    Omit the millet flour, using 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (45 g) buckwheat flour or teff flour and decreasing the oat flour to 1/4 cup (25 g).
    Vegan gluten-free pie crust variation:
    Use vegan butter in place of the butter, and decrease the salt if the butter is salty. I like Miyoko's cultured vegan butter the best.
    Paleo pie crust variation:
    See the recipe here!
    A few notes on timing:
    Give yourself 3-4 hours to complete a parbaked crust. Most of this time is inactive. The ideal timeframe for making this crust is as follows:
    • 10 minutes to mix and fraisage the dough
    • 30 minutes to chill
    • 10 minutes to do the first turn
    • 30 minutes to chill
    • 10 minutes to do the second turn
    • 30 minutes to chill
    • 10 minutes to roll out the dough, get it in the pan, shape it, and dock it
    • 30 minutes to chill
    • 30-40 minutes to par-bake the crust
    Do ahead: 
    I like making this crust at least 1 day ahead to ease prep on the day of baking and to allow it to absorb moisture which results in a more smooth, flaky crust.
    • The dough can be made ahead, wrapped, and chilled for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 year.
    • The shaped crust can be made ahead (baked or unbaked), wrapped, and chilled for up to 2 days or frozen up to 1 year.

      Dear Alanna, just tried my luck with your recipe and was using it for a Tarte Tartin. Somehow it did not turn out the way expected. The though doesn't stick stick/hold together. Its just crumbles. Is it because of the excess moist of the apples? Thanks for your support and regards from Vienna/Austria

        Hi Gerhard, I'm sorry that happened! I've used this dough for tarte tatin and it worked well for me. It actually sounds like the dough wasn't hydrated enough. This dough likes to have more moisture than a wheat flour pie dough. If you try it again, I'd recommend making sure you add all the water (and more if it needs it). And do give the dough the fraisage and turns - it really helps it hold together, like magic!

          I had a similar issue with pliability but this is helpful to know! Thank you!
          One other question: you note baking in a glass pie dish. I know with regular wheat dough I typically get best results with metal. Is there a reason you prefer the glass for this recipe? After having a lot of experience working at home and professionally with wheat dough, I am DYING to nail an actually tasty GF pie dough to expand my offerings and always struggle with crumblies. This dough was absolutely delicious but I cannot get the pliability and tenderness of my wheat version. Thanks for any input and for all your work!

            Hi Rose,

            Thanks for the kind words and the great questions! I'm fascinated to know that you got better results with baking wheat crusts in a metal pan. I never thought about it, but I guess the metal would conduct the heat more efficiently, heating the crust more quickly and giving the butter less time to melt, causing more flakes. That's brilliant!

            I've made this crust in both metal and glass pans and never noticed a difference, but I'll keep a closer eye on them the next time I make them. And please let me know if you see a difference too!

            In terms of pliability, I've found that I get the most pliable dough when I use the food processor method. And as I said above, hydration is key here! It activates the sticky power of the sweet rice flour, starches, and chia, and softens the bits of flour. So do make sure to add all the liquid and don't be afraid to add more if it feels dry. It will still be more prone to cracking than a wheat crust, but it should be sturdy enough to flute and weave.

            I tried to straddle the line between still using some nutritious whole-grain flours and minimizing starches and not using any gums. But for a more white flour-esque crust, you could probably wiggle the starches up, use less of the oat/millet flours, and you could try adding some xanthan gum. Psyllium husk could also be another ingredient to experiment with adding.

            Please do let me know if you play with the recipe and feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or observations. Appreciate your input!

              Alanna, thank you so much for the response! I will definitely try the food processor along with your other tips re: hydration. I agree, I would also like to keep it as flavorful and texturally interesting as possible without having to use any gums which is what always draws me to your GF versions of pastry. Hoping to venture into this territory more in the coming year!

              Always happy to help troubleshoot. Please keep me posted if/when you try the recipe again. Fingers crossed!

              I also just realized (and I will update the recipe with this info) that when I make this crust using Koda Farms Mochiko sweet rice flour it tends to turn out more smooth, pliable, and flaky. That brand seems to be more finely ground than Bob's Red Mill. I've also heard that Thai sweet rice flour also tends to be very finely ground. So might be worth seeking out for this particular recipe. :)

        Hi Joanna, Hm that's a great question. My gut says to start with the GF crust, though really the two are very similar in terms of how they handle. If you happen to have any of the flours on-hand (cassava, almond, and tapioca for paleo, or oat, millet, sweet rice, and cornstarch for GF) that could be a deciding factor. Please let me know what you try, or if you have any questions as you go!

        Hi John, hm that's a good question. I guess you'd have to cook the grains, then grind them, but they'd be more like a paste at that point. I'm really not sure.. But! I do have a paleo pie crust recipe. I googled and it seems that the flours I use here - cassava, almond, and tapioca - are low lectin! Let me know if you try it!

      I love your recipes! I made this recipe from Alternative Baker for an apple pie. The resulting bottom crust seemed undercooked. It was very light and squishy. Do you have advice on what we did wrong? Maybe too thick?

        November 29, 2021 at 7:58 am

        Aw thank you Rachel! But oh no to the soggy crust - that's no good! I don't *think* the thickness should affect the bottom that much, but it's possible!

        Did you bake the pie on the bottom rack of the oven and set it on a pre-warmed baking stone? Is it possible that your oven runs cold and that you could set it a little higher? Were your apples especially juicy and adding a tablespoon or two of flour or cornstarch next time could help?

        This is my favorite GF apple pie recipe, and it's adapted from the one in Alternative Baker. There shouldn't be any soggy bottoms!

        Please let me know what you try next! :)

      Absolutely perfect crust- turned out just gorgeous in every way. Wondering if I could use coconut oil…? I was using vegan butter a lot and heard that it’s horrible for one’s health and so, so artificial compared to real butter. Kerrygold is my favorite real butter however I’ve been using so much of it and do indeed love coconut oil for so many reasons. Just curious…

        Aw I'm so glad you love this recipe!

        That's a great question! First of all - what kind of vegan butter were you using? I like Miyoko's because it has very natural ingredients, so I don't think all vegan butters are unhealthy.

        Dairy butter is usually around 80% fat and 20% water and milk solids. Coconut oil is close to 100% fat, so they're not usually interchangeable in recipes. That said, I did provide a coconut oil pie crust option in my cookbook. It's a little more fussy to work with and needs to be warmer when rolling to make the dough pliable. Please let me know if you try it! You could also try using half butter and half coconut oil.

        Agree that Kerrygold is pure heaven!

      I just made this crust last night and it was the best gf crust I’ve made yet. The texture was fantastic and the dough was easy to work with.
      I used the recommended flours in the recipe and I found the final result to have a bitter after note. I’m wondering if this is expected, or if the crust over baked a little while baking the filling. After the blind baking, I had to bake the pie a further 60 min or so for the filling. The rim was not burnt, nor did it even get very dark, but am wondering if over baking was the cause for the bitterness. Would love your feedback! Thank you for a great recipe!

        Hi Reni,

        I'm so glad you liked the pie crust dough and texture, though I'm sorry to hear about the slight bitter taste! I've found that millet flour can taste bitter at times. My hunch is that it has to do with how old it was and how it was stored (possibly before it got to you). You could try swapping another flour such as sorghum or teff, both of which tend to have a sweeter taste, and see if it makes a difference.

        Overbaking *could* make it taste bitter but only if it got too dark, so that doesn't seem to be the case here. Please let me know if you experiment!

          Hello, I tried the crust again, using the same flours and the result was superb. No bitter aftertaste. I think the issue was chia seeds that were not freshly ground…not sure how long they had sat in the pantry. This time the chia was freshly ground and the taste was perfect.
          I have not tried to laminate the dough yet and cannot imagine the texture getting any better than it is! I did do the fraisage properly this time. Last time I smeared the entire disc at one time instead of doing it chunks at a time, having misread the instructions. The texture was great last time and even better this time!

        November 22, 2022 at 11:17 am

        Oh great question! All variations are adding a little acidity to the dough which I've found makes it less prone to shrinking as it bakes. The buttermilk and yogurt variations are my favorite because they add a little more protein to the dough which makes it a little easier to work with and more flaky. But if someone doesn't have any on-hand, there's no need to buy some just for this recipe; lemon juice or vinegar will add the needed acidity.

        Please let me know which version you try!

      I found your recipe, which really does look delicious, BTW, by searching for gluten free. Then, instead of a recipe I could get to easily the night before Thanksgiving, I found another one which had to be read and read and read, before I finally found the ingredients. When I finally did, the word hit me right away, Oats. Oats contain a protein which is a very close first cousin to gluten and cannot be eaten by those who either have a gluten intolerance or have a digestion problem. It is like false advertising to list your re ipe as gluten free if it has Oats in it. And it could actually be very harmful to someone who has newly found their intolerance and doesn't already know to check for Oats. Thank you. I'm sure those who do not care about the condition of their gut or have iron stomachs like my husband, and those not overweight from gluten will find your recipe most delicious.

        Hi Sue,

        There's actually a "jump to recipe" button at the top of each of my posts. Makes it easy to get right to the recipe!

        Thanks for your concern about the oats. Here in the US, gluten-free oats are considered gluten-free as advertised. One of my Aussie readers let me know that oats are not considered celiac-safe in Australia, but they are here. Here's what beyondceliac.com has to say about it: "Specialty gluten-free oats are grown, harvested and processed in a way that keeps them away from other grains and the high risk of gluten contact, and are widely accepted as safe for those with celiac disease."

        You're absolutely right that some people with celiac can't tolerate even gluten-free oats, just like some can't tolerate dairy either, and some can't tolerate any grains at all and do better on a Paleo protocol. Also, many of my readers are GF for reasons other than celiac. Some have IBS, SIBO, or IMO (this is why *I* have to avoid glutenous grains). Some have other autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto's, Crohn's, or colitis. And some just feel better on a GF diet. So oats are a healthy part of the diets of many of my GF readers.

        For my readers who *can't* tolerate oats or don't have oat flour on hand, I've been giving substitution suggestions in most recent recipes including this one. There's additional detail about these subs and ingredients in the post body (one benefit to reading the post rather than skipping straight to the recipe.)

        In any case, I hope you found a recipe that was to your liking and that you and your husband had a delicious holiday meal.

      Wow. Fantastic recipe. It's a bit of work, but pie dough is always a bit of work. I used white rice instead of sweet rice, leaf lard in place of butter and 8 1/2 Tbsp. ice water. The dough was very easy to work with. I just baked up pie crust cookies with the extra dough and they are just SO GOOD. Flaky, tender, brown nicely, held their shape. I have struggled for 5 years to find a good recipe and this is it! Thank you!!

I especially love making this cake with Meyer lemons - so obsessed with their sunny, floral flavor! It pairs beautifully with nutty poppy seeds, which add a bit of crunch and old-world flavor.

Made with some whole grain flours, no gums, and with DF and refined sugar-free options too.

    Sunny GF #lemontart vibes for a dark Friday! 🌝🍋

This is our 🤷‍♀️ day of rain and clouds here in NorCal and I'm definitely craving brightness in all forms, including and especially citrus! 

You can make this golden-hued tart with regular lemons, but I especially love the floral taste of Meyers if you have access to them. 

The bright and tangy lemon curd gets baked in my tender, buttery almond flour tart crust, a reader favorite since I shared it in my cookbook back in 2016. 

Top it with whipped creme fraiche and bee pollen for a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but is actually super easy to make yourself. 

Stay dry out there, friends!

    Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Egg Scramble for a vibrant filling loaded with eggy, cheesy vibes! 🌈✨
 
This recipe starts with my flaky gluten-free pie crust and a mess of sauteed veggies. For the filling, just blend #hodoeggscramble with plant milk, corn starch, a bit of maple sugar, and baking powder. The sugar balances the flavor, and a pinch of baking powder gives it a bit of fluff. 
 
Whip one up for a satisfying brunch dish everyone can enjoy! Get the recipe @hodofoods.

    GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨ Gluten and GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨

Gluten and dairy-laden cakes *wish* they could be as moist and tender as this cake, which gets loads of flavor from fruity olive oil and a meltingly tender crumb from nubby almond flour. 

Nibble slices plain with a cup of tea, or dress up wedges with sugared strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream. 

The cake can be made up to a few days ahead; it just gets better and better as it sits. Feel free to try this cake with other citrus zest and juice, such as Meyer lemon, tangerine, or blood orange.
