I make 4 pie shells and tops from one brick. The only place I could get it is at Food Basics and some Metro stores. $4 a loaf makes it a bunch cheaper than the store bought ones.

Pie dough 1kg - Chef François Hubert (francois-hubert.ca)

Thanks for the tip! Can't beat that deal, as long as it's half decent tasting. I might try making some big venison tourtiere

Looks like Food Basics has the dough. The Metro site shows it only being seasonally available. Looks like the price has gone up a bit, just like everything else these days.

That Hubert dough is a good deal if you're getting that many shells out of a block. If you buy the already made 9" shells they are about $5 and you get two of them.

Well, I guess I got lucky, bought my last 5 loaves the other day at $4.99.
