Ginas Summer Tomato Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 deg. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sprinkle flour on a work surface.
• Roll out pie dough to form a 10-inch circle & place on baking sheet.
• Overlap & alternate the different tomatoes & mozzarella (I only had red tomatoes) in the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border.
• Scatter the basil leaves on top.
• Sprinkle with salt & pepper & red pepper flakes.
• Fold the uncovered edges of the dough inward over the filling to create a pleated crust.
• Brush edges & top with olive oil. (Look at my pictures, watch out for holes in the edges, the water from the tomatoes will leak out.).
• Place in the oven & bake for 35 minutes.
• After about 10 minutes check for leaks & plug them.
• Remove from the oven to a cutting board.
• Slice & serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight., Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice., Bake until bottom is lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until light brown, 5-10 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack., In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, cheese, green onions and seasonings. Arrange one-third of the tomatoes in crust; spread with one-third of the mayonnaise mixture. Repeat layers twice. Bake 25 minutes. Top with bacon; bake until filling is bubbly, 5-10 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
