Equipment

  • large bowl
  • quarter sheet pan
  • Plastic Wrap

Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
  • 1.5 cups cold, unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup very cold water

For the filling

  • 4 cups diced rhubarb (about a lb.)
  • 4 cups diced strawberries (about a lb.)
  • ¾ cup sugar (200g)
  • 1 juice of lemon
  • 3 tablespoons instant tapioca

For the top of the crust

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

For the crust

  • Place your flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Cut your butter into ½ inch cubes and add them into the flour mixture.
  • Toss them around so that they’re coated and use your fingers to roughly smash each butter cube into flatter pieces.
  • Pour the cold water over butter-flour mixture and knead until the dough forms a ball.
  • Divide dough into two parts, and turn onto a well-floured work surface. Roll each section into a rectangle and fold the rectangle into thirds, then then in half, and wrap in plastic wrap.
  • Chill in the fridge until firm — one to two hours.

For the filling

  • In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, and tapioca. Toss to combine and set aside until the crust is ready.

To assemble

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Roll out one half of the dough to an 11x15 rectangle and transfer it to your quarter sheet pan.
  • Spoon in the filling and spread to the edges.
  • For the top crust, either roll out the second sheet and seal the edges, or cut into strips for a lattice top.
  • Brush crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the filling seems bubbly and juicy.
  • Allow to cool before slicing.

Notes

¾ cup sugar in the filling yields a pie that is sweet but not too sweet at all. If you want a sweeter pie, you could up it to a full cup.
