Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Adjust the oven rack to the lowest position and place four 9-inch unglazed quarry tiles (or a pizza stone) on the rack to form an 18-inch square. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow the tiles to heat for at least 30 minutes.
-
Blackberry Purée: In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, purée 1 cup of the fresh blackberries until smooth. Set aside for later use.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine granulated sugar, salt, potato starch, and the blackberry purée, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula until the mixture reaches the consistency of thick jam. Stir in the lemon zest for added flavor.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the thickened mixture over the remaining fresh blackberries and gently stir to combine, ensuring all the berries are evenly coated.
-
Assemble the Pie: Pour the blackberry filling into the bottom pie crust shell and dot the top with butter to enhance the richness of the filling. Cover the pie with the top layer of pastry dough.
-
Bake the Pie: Place an 18-inch square of heavy-duty foil on the preheated tiles or pizza stone. Set the pie on the foil and bake for 20 minutes.
-
Add Finishing Touches: Remove the pie from the oven, brush the top crust with beaten egg white, and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar for a golden finish.
-
Final Baking: Return the pie to the oven and bake until golden brown, approximately 20 minutes longer. To prevent excessive browning, loosely cover the pie with the foil during the last stage of baking.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for 2-3 hours to set the filling before serving.
