We’ve taken our keto pie crust and gave it a makeover to improve the roll-ablilty so that it doesn’t crack and crumble during assembly. With help from Transglutaminaise TI, everything holds together so this keto crust becomes a keto must.

Create Dough and Rest
In a food processor combine almond flour, coconut flour, TG TI, and salt. Pulse until dry ingredients are combined.Add in cubed cold butter and eggs slowly. Pulse until just combined.
-
Rest Dough
Remove from the processor and shape it into a puck. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours or more. We prefer a 3 day rest period for a more elastic dough.Chef Tip: A longer chilling time is recommended as it allows the transglutaminase more time to create bonds within the dough. These bonds will prevent some cracking when rolling it out later.
