Finally made a ginger bourbon peach pie yesterday before it got too hot. I used a store bought crust because there was no way I was making one from scratch in this heat.

This recipe uses regular flour, “cooking oil” so I used canola since I’m making a sweet pie and didn’t want the EVOO taste, milk and salt. I had no idea a delicious crust could be so easy!

I found a recipe online which calls for just self-raising flour and kefir (in a 2:1 ratio) and takes about two hours from start to finish. I've toyed with the original recipe, making my own self-raising flour with different types of grains. So far, I've done quinoa and spelt (quinoa flour is really overpowering. The bread was very...quinoa-y) as well as Kamut and whole wheat. I've posted pictures on my social media and I think some of my family members (particularly those who live in Asia) find me a little...odd (at least two of my cousins would probably say "gum ging -ahhhh!!"
