My 319th post, "Strawberry Lattice Pie (Vegan)", a super decadent pie recipe perfect for your Spring time baking or upcoming Easter day. A perfectly golden and flaky pie crust homemade with Bob Red Mill's Organic Unbleached White Flour loaded with a delicious fresh strawberry filling.
Spring is my favorite season of the year. I love the warm sunshine, colorful Texas wildflowers, refreshing dips in nearby streams, visits to Turner Falls, and the chance to restart my patio garden. Most importantly, spring means strawberry season, and strawberries have always been my favorite fruit. It is the season that brings together many things I enjoy the most.
During my first spring in the United States, I filled my patio garden with flowering plants and herbs. While shopping at a local garden center, I noticed small strawberry plants and decided to bring one home.
I was thrilled when the plant produced its first berry. Although it was much smaller than store-bought strawberries, it tasted incredibly sweet. Harvesting a strawberry from my own garden felt special and rewarding.
The following spring, I decided to take my love for strawberries a step further. I visited a local strawberry farm and spent the day picking fresh berries. Seeing rows upon rows of bright red strawberries was such a delightful experience. I enjoyed it so much that I returned home with an entire tray of berries—far more than my family could eat fresh.
From Strawberry Picking to Baking
Baking is another hobby that I truly enjoy. Spring always inspires me to bake more because fresh berries are available everywhere. With a large batch of handpicked strawberries waiting in my kitchen, making a homemade strawberry dessert felt like the perfect choice.
A strawberry pie immediately came to mind. Pie has always been one of RK's favorite desserts, and until then, he had only enjoyed store-bought versions. The first time I baked this strawberry pie at home, it was an instant success. The fresh flavors and flaky crust made it far superior to anything we had purchased from a bakery or grocery store. Since then, this pie has become a regular favorite in our home.
Why I Love Baking from Scratch
One reason I enjoy baking from scratch is the ability to choose high-quality ingredients. For this recipe, I used Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached White Flour. Knowing that the flour is freshly milled from organic hard red wheat and contains no unnecessary additives gives me confidence while baking.
The flour works beautifully in pie crusts and helps create a tender, flaky texture. It is the same high-protein flour trusted by many professional bakers and performs equally well in breads, pastries, and desserts.
Why You'll Love This Strawberry Lattice Pie
I wanted this pie to look as impressive as it tasted, so I finished it with a classic lattice crust. The homemade pie dough is simple to prepare and bakes into a wonderfully flaky crust.
The fresh strawberry filling is juicy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The natural sweetness of the berries combines beautifully with a gentle hint of tartness. Every bite delivers a delicious contrast between the crisp golden crust and the luscious fruit filling.

Ingredients
For Pie crust :
- 2 ½ Cups Bob Red Mill's Organic Unbleached White Flour
- ¾ tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 stick Vegan Butter | Regular Unsalted Butter (cold)
- 6 Tbsp Ice Cold Water (more if needed)
For Strawberry filling :
- 6 Cups Fresh Strawberry (Halved / Quartered)
- ¾ Cup Sugar (adjust based on sweetness of strawberries)
- ¼ Cup Corn Starch
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed)
- a small pinch Salt
Instructions
- Add the flour, salt and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Now, cut the butter into smaller cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a fork or 2 to cut the butter into the flour. You should end up with a crumbly mixture with some smaller particles and some larger ones.
- Now add about 4 Tbsp (¼ Cup) of Ice Cold water to the flour mixture. Mix until combined. Now add 2 more Tbsp of water and mix well. Try to take a portion of the dough and grab by your palms. If it holds its shape and does not crumble you are good to go. If not, add 1 or 2 Tbsp of additional water and mix.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Split the dough into 2. I split it in an approx. ratio of 60:40. Use the palms of your hand to press the dough together into the form of a disc. Wrap the discs in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for atleast 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, add the fresh strawberries to a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, corn starch, salt and lemon extract. Mix well and keep aside for atleast 10 mins.
- After 1 hr, pull out the pie dough from the fridge and transfer the larger one to a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a large circle. The circle should be slightly larger than the diameter of your pie pan. Roll the dough back onto the rolling pin to transfer easily.
- Transfer it to the pie pan and press it gently onto the pan. Now, add the strawberry filling and spread it out evenly.
- Similarly, roll out the other dough disc as well. Use a ruler and a sharp knife / pizza cutter to cut it into ½ inch thick strips.
- Now we will have to weave the lattice pattern. Refer closely to the pics below or the video above when in doubt.
- Take alternate strips of dough and cover the top of the pie leaving about ½ inch space between. Make sure the large strip goes in the center of the pie pan. Fold back alternate strips half way through. Now place a large strip of dough cutting across the already placed strips. Return back the folded strips to original position. Now, similarly fold back half way the other set of strips. Place one more large strip of dough cutting across and then return back the folded strip to original position. Repeat the same procedure until the whole pie pan is covered.
- Now use your fingers to bind the edges of strips on top with the bottom pie crust layer. Also pinch the edges to form a wavy pattern.
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Optionally brush the top of the pie crust with milk or melted butter. This will give you a nice golden color while baking. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 mins. Then reduce the temperature to 350 F and bake for an additional 30 mins or until the pie top is nicely golden. Take out the pie from the oven and leave it to rest for atleast 2-3 hours before slicing.
- Enjoy, with an optional topping of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.<br>

Hi the pie looks delicious and the crust looks sooper crisp. So to make GF version or paleo version of the crust, what flour would you suggest?
revifood says
Hi Shasa, i dont cook paleo or GF. So I am not very sure about substitutes. But I love the regular flour from Bob's Red Mill. Hope their GF and Paleo flours are also good to use.
