The rolling process starts after you have finished waiting for the dough:

The only ingredients that you will need for this process is: FLOUR.

Work space: ensure you have a sizable working space, and it should be cool, temperature cool that is. Dont use a warm surface, for it would warm up the margarine inside and would ruin our attempts to create layers for the dough.

Marble surface is recommended. Personally, i use my regular counter top and the dough comes out perfect!

Ready with the flour? Let’s get to work.

Imagine your 10-year-old son asking you ”Mommy, what is pies? where did it come from?” while you give him his most favorite dish of the whole wide world. Startled a little bit? Don’t be.  I have a brief and nicepie history so you can feed your hungry child’s mind and body. The story goes…

Once upon a time, all the way to the ancient time ( that’s right, the B.C time)…

The Egyptian invented the pie so they can store most of their food in the hot sandy desert weather surrounding the Nile. Around 2000 BC, they baked the pie with honey, nuts, and fruits. As time progress, they put savory meat in the pies so it can be stored longer.

The Egyptian pie crust is far more different than the modern pie crust that we have. They did not have baking sheets, or the pan, or something similar to bake the pie. Rather, they had to use the pie crust itself to bake, resulting the pie crust is inedible.

Alrighty. Part 2 of the story… pretty fascinating.

One fact, you know the French and the Brit always fight right? They are like dogs and cats, fire and water, mentos and coke, Mike Tyson and Holyfield’s ears, etc..

Draw as much similarities as you want, but they are not fond of each other.

Mike said to the ear: " You are going down!"

So.. come to the he said she said kinda thing between the 2 people….

The Brit has founded quite a vast recipe books at the 16th century ( Will-Shakes time), and books are priceless. Upon hearing the French claims about Claude Lorrain and his puff pastry achievement, the Brit cranked up their canon and fight back with their own version of puff pastry: ” puff paste”.
