Stressed about a homemade Thanksgiving pie? Don’t be. My tips will help. María Jesús Contreras Back to basics In David Mamet’s comedy “Boston Marriage,” the character Claire says: “Yes, this shall be our party. And we must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie.” That sentiment can hold true for the baking process, too — even in these days leading up to Thanksgiving. Making pie from scratch can be calming if you accept it for what it is: a deliberate building project that offers the tactile pleasure of [working with smooth, cool dough](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlW0OXP0TRaHR0cHM6Ly9jb29raW5nLm55dGltZXMuY29tL2d1aWRlcy8zLWhvdy10by1tYWtlLWEtcGllLWNydXN0P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMjExMTkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzgwNTEmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTExMzY4NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY3OXvnhj8B44rVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). It takes time, much of it waiting, and ends with a dessert that tastes better homemade even if it isn’t as picture perfect as one from the store. Usually, the most intimidating part of preparing pie is the crust. (My sister said, “It feels like failure waiting to happen.”) Knowing how anxiety-inducing rolling dough can be, I created four pies with press-in crusts for [The Times’s newest collection of Thanksgiving pies](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlW0OXP0TyaHR0cHM6Ly9jb29raW5nLm55dGltZXMuY29tLzY4ODYxNjkyLW55dC1jb29raW5nLzQyMjI0Mjc5LXlvdXItdGhhbmtzZ2l2aW5nLXBpZXMtaGF2ZS1hcnJpdmVkP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMjExMTkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzgwNTEmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTExMzY4NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY3OXvnhj8B44rVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). (Pro tip for crumb crusts: Form the sides first, then pat the bottom flat.) For the other five pies, here are tricks that can take the fear out of making classic crusts from scratch: 1. Make dough ahead of time To take the guesswork out of how much water to use, I developed a [pie crust recipe](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlW0OXP0TVaHR0cHM6Ly9jb29raW5nLm55dGltZXMuY29tL3JlY2lwZXMvMTAyMzU3My1hbGwtYnV0dGVyLXBpZS1jcnVzdD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjIxMTE5Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTc4MDUxJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMTM2ODUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmNzl754Y_AeOK1SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) with a set ratio of wet to dry ingredients. Chilling the dough for at least an hour, and ideally for a day or more, allows the flour to hydrate further. That resting time makes the dough easier to roll, more flavorful and less likely to end up tough. 2. Get a feel for the dough Rolling dough is like a dance: You have to sense when your partner — in this case, a disk of dough — is ready to move. If the chilled dough is too firm, it will crack if you press it with force. Let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature, and your rolling pin will glide right over it. When placing the rolled round in the pie plate, you should feel the suppleness of it on your fingers and keep it from going taut. Gently lift and tuck the sheet into the corners to press it flat against the pan without stretching it. 3. Better blind baking Blind baking, or baking pie dough before filling it, helps the crust stay crisp. Refrigerate or freeze the dough fitted into the pie plate until it’s very firm. (The butter needs to be cold for a flaky, tender crust.) To ensure that the bottom doesn’t puff or balloon, dock it with a fork, lightly poking holes all over without piercing all the way through. To keep the sides from slipping and shrinking, the dough needs to be weighted down. Start by crumpling a sheet of parchment paper into a ball, then open it back up and press it against the dough. All those creases help the paper sit flush against the sides. Fill the paper-lined pie plate with dried beans or rice all the way to the rim to fully weigh down the dough as it bakes. 4. “Store-bought is fine” [That’s what Ina Garten says](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlW0OXP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMS8xMy9kaW5pbmcvaW5hLWdhcnRlbnMtc3RvcmUtYm91Z2h0LXRoYW5rc2dpdmluZy1yZWNpcGVzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIyMTExOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03ODA1MSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTEzNjg1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpjc5e-eGPwHjitUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), so it must be true. With the exception of the lattice-topped blackberry apple pie, [our other new pies](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlW0OXP0TjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMi9kaW5pbmcvdGhhbmtzZ2l2aW5nLXBpZXMtcmVjaXBlcy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMjExMTkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzgwNTEmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTExMzY4NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY3OXvnhj8B44rVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) work just fine with store-bought frozen crusts. If buying one eliminates the hurdle to homemade pie, great! There’s a lot of happiness in pulling a pie out of the oven and serving it at Thanksgiving, no matter how you get there.

A glorious mash-up of a giant cookie, a restrained nut tart and a classic pecan pie, it’s far more elegant and less sweet than the usual gooey, sugar-glutted versions. And even better, its toasted pecan cookie crust can be pressed directly into the pan; no need to dig out the rolling pin. You can bake it up to three days ahead of serving. Which means that if you have some time to spend on it on Monday, you can cross Thanksgiving dessert off your list — in a truly magnificent way.

Weighing your ingredients is more accurate and less error-prone than using measuring cups, so there’s less chance your cakes will be dry or your cookies leaden.
