What is this crust? I would say it's across between a pastry & bread. Soft in the middle and crusty on the outside

Directions
Pie Crust
Follow the directions for Pie Crust recipe (follow this link to take you to the recipe)
Pie Filling
Add the oil to a large pan and fry the leeks for about 5-10 minutes, until it's softened but not overly browned
Now add the beef mince & garlic and fry until the beef is lightly cooked, but not crispy
Next add arrowroot, Worcestershire Sauce, Tomato puree & mixed herbs and stir through
Finally add the stock cubes & boiling water to the saucepan. Season with salt & pepper. Bring to boil & gently simmer for approx. 15 to 20 minutes.
Simmer for longer, if you want to reduce the gravy, or if you like the gravy as it is, but would like it a little thicker, then add a small amount of extra arrowroot to a cup, with a little cold water, mix until smooth and then mix into the pie filling
Now pour into your prepared Pie Crust base and go back to the Pie Crust recipe and instruction no.8 onwards
Enjoy :-)
