I like to use a ruler and a pizza wheel to make the job easier! These two tools combined work well together and help you cut straight, even strips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For a fat lattice, you need to cut 7 strips of dough that are 1.5\u20132 inches wide<\/strong>. Given that we need 7 strips to weave the lattice, I recommend rolling the sheet of dough to a rectangle of 10 inches x 15 inches, roughly. These dimensions will give you enough excess to trim the edges so they are neat. Check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/blueberry-pie\/\">blueberry pie recipe<\/a> to see a fat lattice. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For a thin lattice, you need to cut 12 strips of dough that are 1 inch wide<\/strong> or less. Check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/rhubarb-pie-with-a-lattice-crust\/\">rhubarb pie<\/a> to see a finer lattice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Finer lattices take longer to weave. Keep this in mind when you are deciding what you want to do.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fbefce\"><strong>Fun fact<\/strong>: you can vary the width of the strips of dough to weave a lattice of thick and thin strips for a fun effect. You can even braid very thin strips and use the braid as a strip in the lattice!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-weave-a-fat-lattice-pie-crust-top\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To

You can cut them with a pairing knife, but I prefer to use a <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pizza wheel\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/39a4im2\" data-linkid=\"33952\" data-shortcode=\"true\">pizza wheel<\/a> or a <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pastry wheel\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3DYX28B\" data-linkid=\"40385\" data-shortcode=\"true\">pastry wheel<\/a>.

I recommend gently folding it in half to make it easier to move, or you can try wrapping it around a rolling pin to move it to the pie as a roll and then unroll it across the top of your pie. Because the transfer can be tricky and difficult, I prefer to weave the lattice crust directly on top of the filled pie to avoid having to transfer it.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1691007278072\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is an alternative to a lattice crust?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you don't like the idea of weaving strips of dough but still want a similar look, consider using cookie cutters to cut out evenly spaced squares to mimic the lattice pattern or just to create a random, fun pattern. You can also invest in a <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pie top cutter\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LMZu4t\" data-linkid=\"31816\" data-shortcode=\"true\">top-crust cutter<\/a> that will help you cut out a detailed pattern in a sheet of dough more quickly!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1691009840589\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do you blind-bake lattice pies?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For lattice pies, I prefer to work with an untrimmed, unbaked pie shell. This allows the baker to create the lattice on top and then trim and fold the pastry over the lattice to lock it in place. You can also par-bake or blind-bake the bottom crust before filling and decorating the top with the 2nd crust, but this means that you cannot fold the edges of the pastry over the lattice. The lattice will float over the filling and bottom crust and may shrink back a little as the pastry dries out. There's nothing wrong with either method, but I prefer to work with an unbaked bottom crust.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1691010055859\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you not burn a lattice pie?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your double-crust pies are burning, it's likely your oven is too hot or you are overbaking them. Is it possible you are baking your pies on the upper oven rack, too close to the top heating element of the oven? I always recommend baking pies on the bottom rack to ensure the bottom crust is close to the heating element, which helps ensure that the bottom crust will bake properly and brown evenly.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lattice pie crust is a traditional and stunning way to create a decorative top on a double-crust pie without too much stress.
