Formula

  • Double pie dough
  • 750 g blueberries
  • 150 g sugar
  • 35 g starch
  • lemon
  • egg wash

Method

  1. Start. Fill bottom crust with tossed fruit. Cut top dough into 10 strips.Watch for: Use only enough flour to prevent sticking and handle evenly so every piece bakes at the same rate. Keep components level and leave edges clean; uneven thickness shows up as uneven setting and slices.
  2. Then. Weave over-under from the center, trim, seal, and chill 20 minutes.Watch for: Keep it covered during the rest; move on only when it is evenly cool or firm, including at the center.
  3. Finish. Bake 20 minutes hot, then 40–50 minutes lower, until center bubbles.Watch for: Begin checking at the early end of the range; use the stated color, movement, or internal-temperature cue rather than time alone.

The concept

Decorative pastry still obeys temperature and structure.
