Top with the ground beef and the shredded cheese. Introduce the sauce:Add half of the enchilada sauce to the meat mixture and stir. Set aside as we will use this over the corn bread later.
After 20+ years of GF baking, I finally have recipes that not only work, but taste like the real thing or better. Being able to make bread as good as sourdough at Fisherman's What? Put a fork in me, I'm done! If your pie dough (and therefore the butter in the dough) gets too warm, the butter will melt and mix with the rest of the ingredients while you’re handling and rolling it – that is, before the pie crust actually enters the oven. This will result in a greasy, oily, hard baked pie crust with no flakiness in sight. From proper crusty bread, pillowy soft cinnamon rolls and glorious layered cakes to fudgy brownies, incredibly flaky rough puff pastry and delicate patisserie – everything that once seemed impossible to make gluten-free can now be baked by you. For the flakiest results, do a total of 4-6 letter folds (the more folds you do, the greater the flakiness). If the dough becomes too soft (and the butter pieces in the dough too warm) to handle, chill it in the fridge for 15-30 minutes before proceeding. After the final letter fold, chill the dough in the fridge for another 30 minutes.A winning guide . . . Bakers who want to expand their gluten-free baking repertoire and really get into what's happening in the baking process won't want to miss this." -- Publishers Weekly It’s of a golden brown colour (if you like it extra caramelised, you can take it all the way to a deep golden brown). After about 20 minutes in the oven, when you see the edges of the pie turning light golden brown, remove the pie weights/rice and baking/greaseproof paper and return it to the oven. The bottom of the crust will still look fairly raw and under-baked. Making your own homemade enchilada sauce will really take this dish to the next level, believe me. I chose to use store bought today because I wanted to showcase how to achieve great flavor with relative ease. I have a recipe here on the blog for making this sauce yourself, it’s easy and super tasty! What Else Can I Use In Beef Tamale Casserole?
When you make the pie dough, likelihood is that it will feel very dry – counterintuitively so. You’ll definitely be tempted to add more water. But resist that temptation!! Adding more water will make your baked pie crust tough, whereas we’re trying to achieve perfectly crisp, tender perfection. This dish can be stored in the fridgefor 3 – 4 days as long as it’s stored in an airtight container or otherwise tightly sealed. Freezer You want to squish each cube of cold butter between your fingers to form a small “sheets” of butter. During rolling and laminating, these sheets of butter flatten out even further and help create all those butter-dough layers that lead to flakiness. Even when I’m only making a single-crust pie, I like to make a whole batch and store the other half either in the fridge of freezer for whenever I’ll need it next! Scrunch up a piece of baking/greaseproof paper and then straighten it out (this softens it) and then use it to line the pie crust.By keeping the ingredients and the pie dough as cold as possible at every step of the process, you’re ensuring that the butter pieces keep intact and don’t melt while you’re making and handling the dough. Finish the Beef Tamale Casserole:Bake the casserole for another 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and has started to lightly brown on top. Let cool for about 5 minutes, then top the casserole with cilantro and your favorite toppings and you’re done! On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pie crust until it’s about 3mm thin. I like to roll it out on a sheet of cling film or baking/greaseproof paper, as that makes it easier to transfer into the pie dish.
I have nothing against gluten, but this book is just full of recipes I long to make' Nigella LawsonTreating yourself to baked goods shouldn’t be all that expensive. You should be able to find baked goods that you can afford. We are very careful about the prices that we use at our bakery. We want to make sure that everyone that visits us can afford to try something. Baked goods have been enjoyed by people for a very long time. People use baked goods to commemorate special occasions, like weddings and birthdays. People like to eat baked goods for breakfast in the morning, and they like to enjoy baked sweets at the end of a long day. Bakeries are a big part of our lives.
And because I’m a huge science nerd (with a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry, that’s rather to be expected!), I’ve also included simple scientific explanations for WHY the recipes actually work. I find the science of baking, and especially gluten free baking, endlessly fascinating – and I hope you’ll love those sciency tidbits as much as I loved writing (and illustrating) them. Yes! You can make the pie dough ahead of time (including the lamination) and then wrap it tightly in cling film and keep in the the fridge or freezer until needed. COLD unsalted butter. This is obviously a crucial ingredients in the pie crust: it gives it a rich, buttery flavour, ensures that it’s wonderfully tender and, most importantly, it helps achieve that wonderful flakiness we know and love – more on that below!

Caster/superfine or granulated sugar. The amount of sugar in the pie dough is relatively small and doesn’t make it taste sweet. Instead, its primary function is to help the pie crust brown nicely in the oven. And then: bake! I like to bake (and blind bake) my pies at 390ºF (200ºC), as it gives the best results in terms of flakiness and caramelisation.
