Faigas Matza Pie Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse matzo to a fine crumb (you should have 1 1/2 cups). Add salt, coconut oil, sugar, and water. Pulse to combine, then press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until light golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely before filling with your favorite kosher curd and meringue topping or chocolate ganache.

Steps:

• To make dough by hand: Sift flour and salt onto work surface. Using your fingertips, mix butter very quickly into flour mixture until crumbly. Form a well in the center and add water. Using a bench scraper, quickly incorporate water into dough, taking care not to overwork the dough. Add more water if dough seems too dry.
• To make dough using a food processor: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour and salt. Add butter and mix until it resembles a coarse meal. With the machine running, slowly add water and process until a dough comes together. Add more water if dough seems too dry.
• Break dough into walnut-sized pieces and, one at a time, flatten each piece against your work surface with the heel of your hand (this creates flaky layers of butter inside the crust). Reincorporate dough into two equal size balls and flatten into disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour before rolling out.

Steps:

• Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add butter and shortening, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Add water in a slow, steady stream just until dough holds together, no longer than 30 seconds (do not overprocess). Squeeze a small amount of dough; if it doesn't hold together, add more water.
• Remove dough from processor, and knead once or twice. Divide in half; shape into disks. Wrap each in plastic; refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together and press in a pie pan.

Steps:

• Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream until dough just holds together (no longer than 30 seconds).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix together salt, caraway seeds, oregano, garlic salt, ground black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
• Mix ground beef and eggs in a mixing bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Add Parmesan cheese and seasoning mixture to beef; combine. Press ground beef mixture into a 12x17-inch pan, spread out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler.
• Sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over baked meat, followed by tomato sauce in an even layer. Sprinkle another 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce and top with slices of pepperoni. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over pizza.
• Broil until cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
