“5-Minute Pie Crust (No-Roll Pie Crust Recipe)”

Hi Bold Bakers!

This homemade no-roll pie crust is absolutely genius. I guarantee you’ll never pick up a store-bought pie crust after making this and seeing just how simple it is! 

My 5-Minute Pie Crust, or a “pat a pan pie crust,” actually comes from a traditional Amish recipe taught to young children. It’s perfect for kiddies who want to help out in the kitchen, and for those who love baking but rolling out a pie crust has become too much ache for the hands.

Another bonus? This pie crust is dairy-free! You still get a lovely flakey pie crust though, because of the oil. If you leave out the sugar, you can make a savory pie with it. And! You can even use gluten-free flour instead! 

How can something so easy be so perfect?

How To Make No-Roll Pie Crust

I know I talked about how great and easy this recipe above, but can you believe you can do it all in your pie pan!? Here’s how you make no-roll pie crust (and don’t forget to get the full recipe with measurements, on the page down below):

  1. In a 9″ or 10″ pie pan or baking dish, add the flour, sugar, and salt. Stir together with a fork.
  2. Add the water and oil to the pan and continue stirring until the dough clumps together.
  3. When the dough is formed, push it into the pie pan and up the sides, using your hands. You want to try to get the dough at an even thickness throughout. (Check out the video for a step by step guide!)
  4. The pie crust is ready! You can blind bake it or freeze it for future use. Try my pie recipes!
