Bon Appétit shares recipe for cranberry meringue pie with detailed dough instructions

Bon Appétit published a recipe for a cranberry meringue pie featuring a bright pink cranberry curd filling topped with a billowy meringue, torched to a golden finish.

The recipe emphasizes the use of a metal bench scraper for multiple tasks including cutting butter, folding dough, shaping, and transferring it, highlighting a favorite tool from Gestura, according to Bon Appétit.

The pie dough preparation involves combining flour, salt, baking powder, cream cheese, and chilled butter, followed by a folding and chilling process to develop the dough's texture.

The dough is rolled out, folded multiple times with dusting of rice or all-purpose flour to prevent sticking, then chilled for at least two hours or up to twelve hours before being shaped into a 12-inch round for the pie crust.
