  • *In some recipes, we will bake this crust individually. In others, we will bake it directly with the filling.

  • *When baking it individually, poke the dough with a fork, cover it with baking paper and place some weight over it. Traditionally it's covered with chickpeas or dried legumes to keep it from rising. Bake at 200ºC for 15 minutes. Then, take out the chickpeas and the baking paper and bake for another 10 minutes approximately.

  • *Xanthan gum is a thickener obtained from the fermenting of corn mash (or other grains), resulting in some kind of gelatine. It is used as an additive to add elasticity to doughs made with gluten free flours. It provides no flavour whatsoever, barely adds calories to the recipe and it may be used for both cold and hot processing. We can easily find this product in herbalists, specialty shops and some supermarkets.
