Approximate raw product measurements

Product thawing

Place the pastry shells on bench/ baking tray to thaw to room temperature - approximately 30 minutes.

Oven temperature

Pre-heat fan forced oven to 200-210°C.

Fill temperature

Ensure your pie fill mixture is at room temperature.

  • If the fill is too hot the fat in the pastry will melt and the filling will boil out before the pastry is baked.
  • If the fill is too cold the pastry will not bake out.

Assembly

  1. Once the pie shells have thawed, fill each shell with room temperature pie filling - take care not to over fill the shells or allow any fill in between the pastry and the foil, as this will cause the pastry to stick to the foil, and will prevent the pastry from baking evenly.
  2. Submerge the Puff Pie Tops in a bowl of water briefly to wash off any excess rice flour - this will ensure proper seal between the pie bottom and top.
  3. Place Puff Pie Top onto Pie Bottom and press firmly around the edge of the pie to seal. The 120mm pie top is larger than the 99mm pie shell, but the top will shrink to fit the shell as it puffs up.
  4. Glaze pie top with milk/ egg if desired.
  5. Cut two small air holes into the pie lid using a pair of scissors to release steam during the cooking process.
  6. Garnish pie tops if desired (e.g., sesame seeds or poppy seeds).

Baking time

  • Space out the finished pies on a baking tray to allow for ample air circulation in the oven.
  • Place baking tray into pre-heated 200-210°C oven and bake for approximately 17-20 minutes.
