What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the fruit filling, adding moisture, flavor and a sweet, tart taste.
- White sugar
- Sweetens the strawberries and helps draw out their juices into the filling.
- Pie-crust dough
- Forms the outer wrapper that holds the filling together during cooking.
The step that matters
Rolling the dough up tightly. A loose roll can let filling leak out and unroll during steeping. A snug, even roll keeps the strawberries and juices contained and gives a neat, even slice.
