Here's a thread I never thought I would be starting.
Last night I received a call from a dear friend asking if I would provide twenty-five pies for a Thanksgiving dinner. Apparently, someone else was to provide these pies and backed out. Now, I could go the easy route and buy the pies, but I have decided to go the semi-easy route. I am going to use packaged, frozen Pillsbury pie dough already set in aluminum pans.
I have always made my own pie dough, so this will be my first experience using the frozen variety. The instructions indicate that I am to fill the frozen (not thawed) pie pans with whatever filling I am using. In my mind, that will make for a less flaky dough after it is baked. Would it not be better to thaw the dough first, and then fill the pan?
Help! I'm starting baking at 7:30am PST.
Any frozen pie dough users out there?
