I use this recipe using half pastry flour and half all purpose all the time but I roll it between 2 sheets of wax paper doing the following steps: gather dough decide if making 2 crust, shape into a ball place on sheet of wax paper cover with 2 sheet in a + design. I then flatten it with the bottom of the pie dish then proceed to roll it turn a quarter turn being carefully to not roll right to the edge until the last. Pick up the top sheet of wax paper but lay it back in same position and barely touch it just enough to see that it is attached, now flip all the layers, remove the top sheet which was the bottom sheet. I gently lift and place my hand under the bottom sheet and place my pie plate centering it then just flip the crust in the pie plate. Since it really isn’t really stuck hard to the crust it lifts off so just pull it away from the crust. Then shape the edge. Repeat with other crust using same paper. Since I weigh my ingredients and roll the crust in the paper there is very little mess to clean and I use my microwave when making the pudding.
