2 cup Unbleached Flour -- Sifted

Lightly grease the baking pan. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. In a

large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt until well blended. In a

saucepan, heat the milk and butter, then cool to lukewarm. Add the warm milk

and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, then add the egg. Blend well to

the layer into the bottom of the pan folding the excess dough up the sides of

the pan making it as smooth as possible.

30 to

minutes. When the dough is double the crust is ready to be filled. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
