5-Minute Pie Crust (No Rolling, No Equipment)

This homemade no-roll pie crust is absolutely genius. I guarantee you'll never pick up a store-bought pie crust after making this and seeing just how simple it is!

My 5-Minute Pie Crust, or a "pat a pan pie crust," actually comes from a traditional Amish recipe taught to young children. It's perfect for kids who want to help out in the kitchen, and for those who love baking but rolling out a pie crust has become too much ache for the hands. How can something so easy be so perfect?

A decade of baking bigger and bolder with home bakers like you!

I’ve been fortunate to share my bold baking style with millions of fans on television and online: Netflix’s “Nailed It!”, Food Network’s “Best Baker in America”, "Baker's Dozen" on Hulu, and segments produced for "The Today Show".

This channel, my website, and my two cookbooks all build on my career as a professional chef, which has seen me work in every kind of baking setting you can imagine – from a rundown Tuscan villa, to an Irish priory, to a Michelin-starred restaurant. I’ve had to become creative, imaginative, and bold…and that’s what I want to bring to every one of my “Bold Bakers"!

From the website:

Ingredients
2 cups (10oz/284g) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3oz/85g) butter, melted
2-3 tablespoons cold water


Instructions
IMPORTANT NOTE: This recipe has been changed and updated 11/23/20. It now includes melted butter rather than oil. This makes it flakey and buttery. Any previous issues have been resolved.


Get a 9" or 10" pie pan or dish.
Into the pie pan add the flour, sugar, and salt and stir together with a fork.
Add the melted butter and water to the dry ingredients and continue stirring until the dough clumps together.
When the dough forms push it into the pie pan using your hands. Try and get the dough an even thickness. If your dough is dry add a splash more water.
Now your pie crust is ready to be used!

Since I started doing this probably 10 years ago, I would always look at the cooks working so hard to make crust and cringe lol So GLAD you're on board with this.

[agimagi]

Woah you had me at no bowl needed! This is going to be my new favourite thing to do! I dislike having to wash so many dishes after baking and this recipe is just so quick and simple in every aspect! Thank you for sharing!

[BigMoneysLife]

Gemma, you are seriously a GENIUS! I'm showing this to my mom. That was seriously the fastest I've seen you put together a pie crust since I subscribed to you many moons ago!

[baazilzubair]

I seen about 3 different cook channel making this pie crust. So about 2 months ago I made this, It was so easy to do. And this was my first time making one instead of buying from the freezer isle.

[HilaryIsOkayssss]

OMG - you're a lifesaver. This is just what I needed. I'm literally almost in tears. lol

[awrinkleintimeyesterday]

😋WOW! Just what I needed for a spinach pie I want to make. Thank you so much. Pie crusts have always intimidated me - this will def be my new go to.

[CocinaConDaniyMel]

That looks really nice, im getting in my kitchen to do it🥰❤

[sayhirose]

Looks easy, my kind of cooking. Will try it now with beef & broccoli filling. Thank you

[dianejohnson]

I’m definitely going to have to give this a try! I’m curious what the texture will turn out to be with oil as fat instead of butter ir shortening. Flaky?

[joyceanderson]

❤❤❤ Thank you so much, all my pie crusts have been failures. I’m going to try today.

[maroinebdaa]

"A fork, we all have one of those " lol😅😅😅

[gerardacronin]

Gemma, you are a genius. You manage to lower the entry barriers to baking. Don’t have a rolling pin? No problem! If you have a dish, a fork and an oven, you can make this.

[domeatown]

God bless you. I have major depression, my dad died, and it has taken me two weeks to make this pie. but I am gluten free and cannot find a gluten free crust. make a custard, you say, cut out the middle man. no. sweetheart, we are having pie tonight. no one can stop me. I am a pie titan.

[mdlanor]

I make a lot of pies during the Christmas Holidays. I’m very experienced at making pie crust dough and rolling it out. Making pie crusts is the only thing I don’t look forward to when making pies. It is not even close to being as easy making pie crusts like many videos show . It took me a year to master, making pie crusts.
Your pie crust recipe has simplified making a pie crust. I use butter instead of oil. Other than that
, I LOVE and most always use this recipe.
