This is a great summer pie. I love the flavors of the tomato and basil combined with a tasty filling and a delightful crust! This recipe takes a little planning, but is really not difficult to make. And I have not found anyone who doesn’t like it. Thank you, Anki, for this yummy pie!

Instructions
Sift the flour two times. Whisk in the salt. Pour in the oil and then the soymilk and mix together. If the dough seems dry, add a little soymilk.

Place the dough in a pie form, crimp the edges and prick with a fork.
