We made this homemade pie crust recipe using milled Soft White Wheat Berries (whole wheat flour), which can be easily ground in your very own flour mill, Wondermill, grain mill or attachment.
Let’s talk about the taste and texture of our pie crust from scratch because quite honestly, we are extremely impressed with the mild, slightly nutty flavor, embraced by a gentle, and smooth flakiness that screams, “I’m going to melt in your mouth”.

Baking with Home Ground Flour Tip: When baking with home ground flour it is best to use weight as a measurement, since home ground flour often has a different volume than store bought.
Baking Tip: Freeze butter ahead of time, shred immediately after removing from freezer and cut into flour before the butter warms up.

I usually make my apple, and berry pie without coking the crust first. Has anyone tried just filling this crust with fruit and cooking it with the fruit?

I used this to make my peach blueberry pie and it was a bigger hit than usual with my family!
