How is this possible? Wouldn't a deep-dish pan need more crust? I found the recipe to barely come halfway up my standard 9.5" pie plate (and it wasn't a very thick crust, so I don't think I could've spread it out any more), so I don't know how it would be enough for a deep-dish pan. But it did taste good.</p> <p>Secondly, the chocolate filling made WAY too much. Don't get me wrong, it's delicious, but it filled the pie pan to the brim (going past the height of the pie crust) and I still had some leftover, even though I followed the directions exactly.</p> <p>Everything still tastes good (although I'll use less agave next time), but I think I either have to halve the filling recipe to fit the 9.5" pan, or double the crust recipe to accommodate all that filling in a deep-dish pan.</p> <p>Has anyone else tried this recipe? Did I do something wrong, or are these the intended proportions? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/freezing-tart-crusts-quiches#post-2138 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 05:01:05 +0000 Linda Germanetti 2138@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Is it possible to prepare the tart crusts ahead of time and freeze before filling? Also, is it possible to prepare the quiche and freeze before baking?

Of course it would not come together, so now I have the raw ingredients of coconut flour, mixed with scallions, grapeseed oil,salt and water. Any ideas what I could make with this -- it is totally dry and not yet cooked. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/bread-20-uneven-top#post-571 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:22:29 +0000 shirehobbit 571@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Good evening!</p> <p>I just baked my first loaf of the 2.0 Sandwich Bread. It is not pretty like in the photo. The top is uneven (part of the crust looks like a thick slanted roof). I used the magic line pan. Any theories on what caused this? Note, my electric oven is old. </p> <p>Shire </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/pizza-crust-recipe#post-67 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 08:29:28 +0000 lnicole24 67@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Greetings. I have been making <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/recipes/" rel="nofollow">recipes</a> from this site for a few weeks now and loving every minute of it. We have been well educated on the need for change in our diets for some time, but slower to act than I am proud to say. Much of our procrastination was due to a lack of know how in the kitchen as I never knew of many of the ingredients available and how to use them. We have been making huge strides in improving our diets and now I am in need of a great Pizza Crust or Pizza in general recipe. We are very comfortable with almond flour at this point and I recently bought coconut flour to begin experimenting. Any suggestions? This cooler weather has made me crave pizza in a bad way! Thank you for this site Elana... it has been a huge blessing in my family's diets and therefore lives. </p>
