Instructions

Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll Out the First Dough Square:
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out one square of dough into a rectangle slightly larger than 12×8 inches, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Trim the edges with a knife for a clean finish and carefully transfer the dough to the prepared tray by rolling it over the rolling pin.
Add the Filling:
- Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Brush the edges with the beaten egg to help seal the pie later.
Roll Out the Second Dough Square:
- Roll out the second dough square to match the first. Trim the edges and transfer it over the jam-filled base.
- Press the edges together gently with your fingers to seal.
Crimp and Vent:
- Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pie, ensuring a tight seal.
- Poke 3–4 small holes in the top layer with the fork to allow steam to escape.
Egg Wash and Bake:
- Brush the top crust with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and set.
Cool Completely:
Allow the pie to cool on the tray for at least 45 minutes. Moving it while warm may cause it to break.
Make the Glaze:
- In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or milk as needed.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled pie, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon.
Decorate and Serve:
- Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles over the glaze for a fun finish.
- Let the glaze set for 5–10 minutes before slicing the pie into 8 pieces.
- Serve with a cold glass of milk or coffee.

Notes

Customizable Filling: Swap strawberry jam for raspberry, apricot, or even Nutella.
Prevent Leaks: Ensure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent the jam from oozing out during baking.
Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap pieces individually and freeze for up to 1 month.
Reheating: Warm slices in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to enjoy a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
