PIECRUST
MAKES 1 PIECRUST
INGREDIENTS
3 cups piecrust flour
¼ cup maple sugar, date sugar, coconut sugar, or evaporated cane juice (omit for savory recipes)
6 tablespoons millet flour
1½ teaspoons xanthan gum
¾ teaspoon Himalayan salt
1¼ cups cold Earth Balance nondairy butter
¾ cup cold rice milk

Preparation

1 For the filling: 2 Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 3 Coat a large skillet with the ghee (or alternative) and heat over medium heat until it warms and spreads easily around the pan. Add the onion, peas, sage, and maple syrup and stir to coat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onions are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the squash, turmeric, and cinnamon and cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 4 Spread out a sheet of parchment and press the chilled pie dough into a 12-inch circle, about ¼ inch thick. Use the flat of your hand and pinch holes back together with your fingers as well as you can. It’s supposed to look rustic so don’t worry about perfection here. Transfer to the parchment-lined sheet. Add the filling to the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border of bare crust. Fold the edges of the crust over the filling, leaving the filling in the center visible. Brush the edges with the olive oil. 5 Bake the galette for 35 minutes, until the edges are golden-brown. Remove and let sit for about 10 minutes. Serve warm. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. 6 For the Piecrust: 7 Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the piecrust flour, sugar, millet, xanthan gum, and salt and mix on low speed to smooth out any lumps. Add the Earth Balance in small chunks and continue to mix. When the dough starts to look like a crumble, add the rice milk. Turn the mixer to medium speed and mix until the dough starts to stick together. Scoop the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 20 minutes before using in any recipe calling for piecrust. 8 To prebake this crust, preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll out or just press the dough into the pie plate. Bake the crust for about 12 minutes or until firm and just beginning to turn a very light golden color.
