- Unroll a pack of ready rolled Jus-Rol Shortcrust Pastry and use to line the base and sides of a 21cm pie dish. Alternatively, use our Shortcrust Pastry Block to ensure full coverage. Place the cooled roasted vegetables into the pastry case, wet the pastry rim of the pie with a little water. Unroll the other pack of pastry and drape the pastry lid on top of the pie, pressing the edges together using a fork to seal. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and bake for 35 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
