I found this recipe while browsing food blogs just before my exams. I believe it is called procrastination:-) The idea of a vegetarian pie is very appealing, even though I love meat, meat pies are often too heavy for my liking and I’ll end up feeling guilty and full after a couple of bites (Ok so maybe after a couple of pies:-). So I’ve decided to give this a go and use up all the vegetables in the fridge.
Enjoy:-)
Ingredients:
Pie Crust:
- 450 g/16 Oz White Flour
- 1 1/4 fast acting Yeast
