Go around the pie pan pinching and tucking the dough to make a clean edge. Set out a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, or a 10 x 15-inch jelly roll pan. Gently press the dough against the edges of the pan. With a spatula, lift the dough into the pie pan. (Sprinkle some flour over top of the dough if it's a bit too moist.)

Seal the bags and place them in the freezer until you need them. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (to about 1/2 inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Stir gently to combine.įorm the dough into 2 evenly sized balls and place each ball into a gallon resealable plastic bag.

Add the cold water, sugar, white vinegar and salt. In a small bowl, beat one of the eggs with a fork and pour it into the flour mixture.
