Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the pie in advance?
You can prepare the pie in advance and store it in an airtight container, in the fridge, for about two days. You can also portion the pie and freeze it.
The Greek yogurt shortcrust pastry is egg-free and butter-free, so it doesn’t need to rest in the fridge to be workable, but if you plan to make the dough for later use, you can freeze the raw dough, wrapped in plastic wrap.
