Pi Day is annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). It is officially observed on March 14, since 3.14 are the first three digits of the numerical value pi. Pi Day was first officially celebrated on a large scale in 1988 at the San Francisco Exploratorium. Since then, Pi Day has been celebrated by millions of students and math-lovers. The easiest way to celebrate is to eat pi-themed foods, of course, being Pie! This year we've made a special pie to commemorate this mathematical constant.
Ingredients:
Giberts Gourmet Goodies Sensational Cookie Dough
Anko(Red Bean) Paste

Olive Oil- to coat the pie pan
Directions:
1) Prepare the Anko(Red Bean) Paste and set aside

2) Defrost Gilberts Gourmet Goodies Sensational Cookie Dough
3) Coat the pie pan with olive oil
4) Now, cut the dough and form a ball
5) Using rolling-pin flatten the dough ball, then place and conform to pan.
6) Poke the crust with holes, this will help with pre-heating
7) Pre-heat the oven to 350 degree F, and place the pie-crust in the oven for 15 mins.
