Pie

For this pie unit we used multiple ways of creating and baking pies. Throughout this process we ran into some problems but ultimately the pies came out good. To create the pie dough we mixed all of the ingredients together in a mixer until it reached its doughy state. Then we took the dough out of the mixer and put it on top of a sheet of plastic wrap and then covered the dough with another sheet of plastic wrap. We then started to roll out the dough with a rolling pin. This is where I ran into some problems because throughout the rolling process I would run into problems such as the shape of the dough not being correct, I would find myself rolling a square instead of a perfect circle. The problem I would run into is the dough cracking or becoming too thin. Although I ran into problems, my dough did come out well. I then proceeded to put the dough into a pie dish which was a problem on its own. I would put it in and have issues portioning it out. I would have spots that were either too thick or too thin. Once the dough was rolled out I portioned out the pumpkin mix. When we poured in the pumpkin mix it was very liquidly and not that pleasant to look at. But when the pie was done it looked good and tasted good.
