I suck at baking breads and pastries. I can make fillings well, and can do meat pretty tasty to boot (though not lately, my last brisket was far too seared, still good for sandwiches!). However, I suck at making any type of bread. I can hardly even remember a simple pie crust recipe. So, for my own benefit, and yours as well if you really want, a pie crust: simple and easy…
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cold butter
4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
Step 1: Mix everything together
Step 2: There is no step 2, pie crust is simple!

For proper mixing technique first the butter needs to be cut in the butter to improve the texture. Then the water to finish it off but don’t over mix or the crust won’t turn out properly. Technique for it is found here http://www.culinary-yours.com/bakingtip7.html

Pastry and bread do not make my “commonly cooked” list
