Pro tip from Chef Ali: Don’t over mix the butter. You want the butter chunks to be pea sized, not fully incorporated. When the dough cooks the butter melts and releases steam, which gives the crust its flakiness.” data-id=”111129736″ data-link=”https://amnewyork.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/21358_image.jpg” class=”wp-image-1.11129736″/> Photo Credit: GEORGIA KRAL

Pro tip: After a couple of rolls, rotate the dough a 1/4 turn, roll again and rotate again. This stretches the gluten in the flour in each direction proportionally. If you only roll in one or two directions, the gluten will not be evenly distributed. Roll the dough until it’s about an inch bigger than the ring or pie dish you will be using.” data-id=”111133743″ data-link=”https://amnewyork.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/16711_image.jpg” class=”wp-image-1.11133743″/> Photo Credit: GEORGIA KRAL

Pro tip: Chef Ali swears by beans over weights. They more evenly distribute weight, and can be used over and over again. Bake crust at 350 degrees for approximately 35 minutes or until lightly golden. ” data-id=”111133866″ data-link=”https://amnewyork.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/16715_image.jpg” class=”wp-image-1.11133866″/> Photo Credit: GEORGIA KRAL

There’s a lot of talk around Thanksgiving about the turkey, and while we admit it’s important to do the bird right, we are partial to dessert. Pie, specifically.
Bouchon Bakery’s pecan pie stands out in a field of contenders thanks to its simplicity and depth of flavor. And we have the recipe from Bouchon Bakery director Alessandra Altieri.
Make this dessert for Turkey Day and all your friends and family will be, well, as happy as pie.
