Foolproof Pie Dough Rolling Method | Just The Tip | Steve Konopelski

[@virginiaboren9747]

Your tips are superb….I’m 82 and wish I had your tips 50 yrs ago….but never too old to improve…..THANKS

[@geosim23]

OMGoodness I was going to pull my hair out last night trying TWICE to roll out dough for my first pie and about gave up ever trying again. Until now. This totally makes sense and I am going to get to making my third dough right now. THANK YOU HEAPS!!!

[@wayfarer2397]

Thank you, Steve! I was already doing your method by about 80% but never took the parchment off the dough and it would stick. This really will help me not to overwork my dough!

[@lillyandersen425]

I almost never post but I NEED to take a minute and tell you how much my husband and I loved you on Bake Off and were rooting for you to win! Anyway, I'm new to making pies and was having a heck of a time rolling out dough so I decided to google and found this youtube. I was thrilled to see you on it and my dough look great! OF COURSE! So thank you!

[@SteveKonopelski]

Thank you so much!!!! I hope this pie dough rolling trick works for you. Remember, if the dough feels really soft, chill it a minute or two, then try rolling a little longer

[@angelinaleonardo4796]

Great advice thank you

[@shanettacrosby3082]

This technique is better than most I have seen. Thank you

[@SteveKonopelski]

So happy you like it. It has really changed my dough rolling for the better. I use this for sugar cookies and any other dough that gets rolled.

[@Fieldon]

Great advice for rolling out chilled pie dough. I will try it next time.

[@newgirlnaomi]

This is exactly what I needed! Thanks so much, Steve! And you are adorable 😍

[@SteveKonopelski]

You’re welcome, hope it helps! And...blush 😊😘

Very clever you are. Thank you!!

[@kristakeever7252]

Worked perfect ! Thank you.

[@SteveKonopelski]

Wonderful!!!!

[@phyllishadley9719]

So today I stumbled on to your KZbin page, Thank You, I have been making pies for years but have always had a terrible time with a cobbler. NOT TODAY. I tried your method and it worked like magic. My husband is a happy man because he had a piece of beautiful blueberry cobbler tonight after supper. It was flakey and fabulous. Many thanks.

[@SteveKonopelski]

That is wonderful!! Thank you for your message. Blueberry cobbler sounds delicious and a perfect end to what I am sure was also a fantastic supper.

[@phyllishadley9719]

We have a deal around our house, I love to cook and my husband loves to eat.

[@springflower68]

Very good idea 👍🏽 Thank you! 🙏🏼 ❤😇

[@prknight0100]

[@michellepaakkunainen5035]

Great tips and I love having you as my instructor. You are amazing and hope to learn so much more from you even after Graduation!

[@SteveKonopelski]

Thank you Michelle! I’m glad this helped. So many more things to learn, keep up the great work

[@sueparker2672]

thank you! you saved me from a pie crust meltdown today.

[@MSS726]

Finally!! Thank you!

Changed my life

[@lisaalexander450]

You are adorable and hilarious! I just made my first piecrust and I really wish I would have watched this video before I did it! Didn’t even get close to a circle on my own but next time I will use this. I appreciate you doing this for us!💕

[@Pipergirlrip]

Great Video! thank you.

[@chocolatesouljah]

Where has this been all my pie-baking life? Mama's recipe for (veddy veddy stiff outta the refrigerator) cream cheese/butter crust received this treatment and I will always use this method from now on! *Clicks subscribe!*

[@britneywong]

This is such a wholesome and helpful video!! Thank you for this! 🥰

[@elizabethbare4208]

This is great! I will try this with my next pie because the one I just made sucked! I should have watched this first haha.

[@MirnaEJiron]

My CHEF!!! STEVE!!! 😂love you and had the best time in your “classsssss!” Can you tell I was singing that last word 🤣🙌🏻

[@KayDee1961]

Hi Steve! This was a great video. I was supposed to make copycat McDonald's apple pies for my son for Thanksgiving, but the thought of flour all over my kitchen stopped me cold. My crust recipe is all butter; will I need to make any adjustments to your instructions for a good outcome? Thanks so much.

[@SteveKonopelski]

You will not. My pie crust recipe is also all butter…the paper method works great for all butter crusts.

[@LinhMai-bx8ym]

so touching for an excellent video

[@othergary]

I'm going to do this today, but add an extra step. I'm going to make an outline of my pie dish with a sharpie. Precision pie dough. 😊

[@SteveKonopelski]

Great addition, I like that idea!

[@shamusmcgee7584]

Thats incredible perfect

[@jaylu7021]

starting to learn how to bake pies, and scared of breaking it when I roll it. This tip will come in handy. Thank you.

[@AliceLJones]

Very clever! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@annefountain8689]

About to make my first pie ever, and going to use your method of rolling for my first attempt. Thank you

[@SteveKonopelski]

Wonderful, I’m glad you found it helpful. I’d love to hear how it turned out.

[@kathleenweary8088]

Thanks!

[@davedoucette2237]

Thank you sooo much for solving my problem with the parchment paper. Now I don't need a second pair of hands to hold the paper. The pie crust is amazing so thanks again.

[@SteveKonopelski]

Glad to help out!

[@liareed1782]

I can't wait to try this for Thanksgiving - it looks like it'll be a game-changer! (And PS - I loved you on Holiday Baking Championship!)

[@SteveKonopelski]

Awesome advice and you make it look so simple that I think even I can do it!

[@SteveKonopelski]

Absolutely you can!

[@adavis473]

Thanks and I love your kitchen towels! :D

[@maryriley6163]

Thank you! This should help me turn out better pie dough than the frisbees I have usually made.

[@viwanton]

Im going to try this. Ive been using a silicon mat that is supposed to be fir rolling doygh and it always sticks

[@margaretkalman1]

Might I suggest you use cling film for the top layer. I made a pie crust today using that method and it works brilliantly. Just a suggestion!!

[@SteveKonopelski]

Glad it worked for you

[@jaylu7021]

You should make more videos my friend!!! Hope you return soon and make more videos.

[@d.rabbitwhite]

Tip needed: How to keep the parchment from sliding as one is putting one's back into it, or even if one is rolling like a wimp.

[@broompatrol]

Drape a corner of the paper over the counter edge and pin it in place by pressing your hip against it

[@SteveKonopelski]

@@d.rabbitwhite you could always substitute the bottom piece of parchment for a silpat, that way it won’t slide around on you.

[@jimlundquist3600]

This helped me a lot, even though I have 'gotten by' the typical way, with a considerable amount of flour on the countertop, etc. but it's challenging. To me anyway, and judging by the comments, I'm not alone, lol. I like this much better. I'm curious how you transfer it to the pie pan, as your video ends before you do that. I rolled it around the rolling pin, as I was afraid to flip it over on the parchment paper, but maybe I shouldn't have been? Anyway, just curious, and thank you!

[@SteveKonopelski]

@@jimlundquist3600 The Hank you for the comment. In the Pecan Pie video, I do show how to get the rolled dough into the pie pan. Give it a watch. I hope it helps.

[@jimlundquist3600]

@@SteveKonopelski Will do....thank you!

[@brookesmith3413]

How about a tip on how to roll the dough out rectangular for cinnamon rolls.

[@gailpalmer7312]

It didn't come out perfect but it's better than any other one I've tried. I am confident that using this technique it will work out.

[@SteveKonopelski]

It takes a little practice but after a while it come so naturally

[@lynns9671]

do you chill the shortening before making a crust?

[@SteveKonopelski]

I don’t use shortening when making a pie crust. Since shortening can never get solid when cold, I don’t think it would hurt…especially if your recipe also calls for ice water. That would keep the ingredients in a level playing field.

[@lynns9671]

how do you make it ? Recipe?

[@SteveKonopelski]

@lynns9671 the recipe is in the Pecan Pie episode…it is in the written part underneath the video…click “more” to read it

[@humanbeing3946]

What thinness (thickness) pie dough need to be rolled out to? How to ensure we get the correct thinness?

[@SteveKonopelski]

Great question. I usually go for about 1/4th to 1/8th of an inch. As you roll it, be sure to stop right at the edges and don’t roll over the edge to pinch it. Take a paring knife and make a small cut in the center of your dough circle. You can pull it up a bit to check the thickness and then press the dough back together again to seal the hole. I hope this helps.

[@christinebean7932]

I got this 😊 I somehow got this massive gingerbread cookies recipe 120 plus cookies , some pretty big ? A 100 year old grandma recipe and I'm a grandma 😅 I have these wooden dowels or stakes that come with plants, there about 18 " long and drum roll ...... in-between 1/8" & 1/4 " thick 🤗 tada!😁 and I used a 1" thick dowel x 20" long as a rolling pin .

[@kimberlyyates7631]

Now i know were i went wrong for my pies!

[@SteveKonopelski]

Lol, well I’m sure they weren’t that bad 😉

[@desmiller50]

74 can just starting to bake a pie. I cook a lot but, feared pie cough. thanks for the tip

[@lmc2664]

Thank you so much for the tip, Steve. I wish I watched this video before I rolled my dough. I made a mess :(

[@SteveKonopelski]

Well…there’s always a next time 😉

[@heatherrickerd9974]

i never knew about that before

[@rae0521]

Perfect demo. Thank you. One question.... why the "music?" If you were doing this live in front of an audience you wouldn't have "go nowhere" music playing... so why online? It adds NOTHING and only DETRACTS from your message, IMO.

[@othergary]

It's also difficult for people who have hearing problems like tinnitus.

[@user-ev5qb6tc8d]

Imagine being intimidated by a cold ball of dough! Thank you for this great tip. Parchment paper is the way to go.

[@SteveKonopelski]

Happy to help! It was a game changer for me

[@web9254]

What pie dough recipe does he use?

[@SteveKonopelski]

@@web9254 you can find the pie dough recipe in the description of the Pecan Pie Episode

[@unfuzzy]

i call shenanigans. i tried to use parchment paper with a bit of flour and dough right out of the fridge as described - the paper sticks to the dough like nuts and when you try to detach it from the paper it just tears. over and over. how is that "foolproof"??

[@victoriabell4436]

AAAAaand, almost no cleanup. Thank you

[@SteveKonopelski]

Yes! An added bonus for sure! Glad it was helpful.
