In today’s video baking lesson, Chef Susie will walk us through making Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. To start, gently toss your bowl of diced fruit with a sugar mixture of corn starch and granulated sugar. This dish almost always contains a large amount of sugar to balance the intense tartness of the rhubarb plant. Next, set the filling aside and begin rolling out the bottom of the pie to about ¼ of an inch thick. Chef Susie uses sweet dough to also help balance out the tart rhubarb fruit. Heap your bottom dough with the fruit filling because these pieces will shrink while baking, then egg-wash the edges of the dough to help seal the top and bottom together. Roll out the top dough (including a hole for venting) and place over the filled fruit bowl. Finally, egg-wash the top for a nice golden brown color after baking. This easy recipe makes for a great light summer dessert. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
