Pie Beans – Weights for the Crust

3 Sisters Pizza Rustica

Tonight I worked on one of my menu’s savory options: the Three Sisters Pizza Rustica. An herbed ricotta custard topped with winter squash, green beans, and charred corn. It’s in an organic spelt crust which tastes amazing but bakes incredibly dark. I’m concerned that the photo looks burnt, but I can promise based on taste, smell, and texture, the crust wasn’t. I’m thinking I’ll cut the Spelt with an AP or Pastry flour to get a lighter color without sacrificing what it offers for taste and nutrition.
