A fresh sourdough loaf w some morning sunlight. 😍

You guys! Pie dough has a bad rep for being brittle, hard to make, etc. This is my Perfect Pie Dough recipe and trust me: it’s super easy to make, is easyyyy to roll out, eassyyyyy to handle and shape, you can braid it, you can make pop tarts, you can freeze it for later use... it’s literally THE best. Stop fussing with whatever recipe you’ve been using and make this dough, k? . . . Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar pinch of salt 1 stick + 2 tablespoons cold butter about 1/4 – 1/2 cup ice water . Directions: Combine butter, salt, sugar, and flour in food processor or blender and pulse until it’s crumbly. Drizzle in ice-cold water 1 tsp at a time and blend/pulse for a few secs. Repeat y til dough clumps together into a ball. That’s it! Now just wrap it up in plastic and pop in the fridge til you’re ready to use. . . . #paintedfork #piecrust #dough #homemade #recipe #bakersofinstagram #bakedgoods #bakefromscratch #baking #bakefeed #feedfeed #asheville @heyheatherangel

These mini strawberry galettes can be filed under things that are made-up on the spot and eaten immediately. 🤤 Jotting down the recipe because it will be made more than once! . . . 1/2 pre-made pie dough 1 lb fresh strawberries 2 tbsp sugar 1 tsp vanilla Zest of 1/2 a lemon Egg white for wash Raw sugar for sprinkling Vanilla ice cream for topping, obvs. . Preheat oven to 400*F. Rinse and slice strawberries, toss with 2 tbsp sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest; set aside. For two minis, divide pie dough and roll on a flour surface into two small rectangles. Otherwise, roll out into one rectangle. Transfer to parchment lined pan and fill with equal amounts of strawberry mixture (should be syrupy and fragrant). Gently fold the edges up and brush with egg wash (whisk 1 egg white + 1 tbsp water) and a sprinkle of raw sugar. Bake for 20-30 mins or until nicely golden brown. Allow to cool a bit before eating so the filling can set up a bit. Enjoy plain or with a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream, like our fav from @tillamook! . . PS - For this recipe, I used 1/2 of a pre-made batch of my go-to pie dough (recipe on paintedfork.com) but you could easily sub store-bought dough and double the recipe for a full sized galette or four personal-sized galettes like these. . . . . #paintedfork #strawberry #galette #thebakefeed #foodblogfeed #onmytable #springrecipe #homemade #baking #pie #fresh #feedfeedbaking @heyheatherangel #asheville #avl

Wanna know how to get bigger air pockets in your #sourdoughbread? Here are a few tips: . 1) Be careful not to overproof your dough. The proving/proofing process is essentially when the gluten is getting all stretchy and the yeast is getting all gassy and their powers combined give your bread the power to rise. If you proof for too long, the gluten gets so stretched out that it’s no longer strong enough to support the weight of the dough. If you consistently have loaves that have a tight crumb with small or not air pockets, try proofing for a little less time. . 2) Over-kneading is another way to overdevelop gluten stetchies. . 3) Try a recipe with a higher ratio of water to flour. There’s no holy grail ratio, but once you get into the 70-75% water zone, you’ll definitely get more air pockets. I don’t know the science, so don’t ask. But I swear it’s true. My fav recipes usually use something like 1000g of flour (100g rye or whole grain flour + 900g bread flour), 120-200g levain, 700-750g water, 20g salt. . Happy baking! . . . . #paintedfork #sourdough #sourdoughbread #bread #breadstagram #naturallyleavened #rye #fermented #baking #bakefeed #feedfeed #gluten #bakersofinstagram #asheville #acolorstory #foodblogfeed @heyheatherangel

Not the best pics but wanted to share this super easy, fast, and deliciously-sour lemon tart anyway! . The sun was out yesterday and I was seriously craving a lemon dessert. I decided to make a lemon tart using a jar of store-bought lemon curd that has been sitting in my cupboard BUT I couldn’t find a recipe anywhere that made sense for using store-bought curd, so I improvised. Here’s how... . 1 pie crust dough (I used my @paintedfork recipe, obvs) 1 jar lemon curd 8 oz heavy whipping creme 1/4 c powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract . Prepare pie crust dough from scratch and chill or thaw frozen dough. Roll out dough and place in 8-inch pie or tart pan. Cover with parchment or foil and fill with uncooked rice. Bake in 350 oven for 25-30 mins or until fully cooked and golden around the edges. Allow pie shell to cool completely, then fill with lemon curd. Place in fridge til ready to serve. Whisk heavy creme, powdered sugar, and vanilla til whipped and fluffy. That’s it! Enjoy 😊
