Instructions:
Step 1:
I first added the salt, sugar, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter to the flour to prepare strawberry pie dough, and then I added gradually the canola oil and cold water until a smooth and cohesive dough is made.
Step 2:
Then I whisked in the egg yolks separately, and I kneaded until the dough was firm again.
Step 3:
I put the dough in the fridge until it was ready for kneading and easy to spread.
Step 4:
After taking the dough out of the fridge, I let it cool slightly.
Step 5:
To have an acceptable diameter of not more than 10 inches, I rolled the pie dough into an oven tray and I pressed it well.
I removed the dough’s excess edges instantly, then I covered it with a plastic wrap and placed it back in the refrigerator to cool for five minutes.
Step 6:
I made another bowl and I put in the sliced strawberries, cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt stirring well.
Step 7:
Then I placed strawberries on the top of the pie dough, paying attention to a stick to decorate the sides.
Step 8:
I placed the strawberry pie in the oven to cook for approximately half an hour at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 9:
Finally, I took the pie from the oven and I dust it with a little sugar, taking into account that a fork or knife makes four holes in the pie to create cracks from which steam escapes to keep the pie from burning during baking.
Enjoy.
