A basic pie dough recipe to store in the fridge or freezer, because you never know when you’ll feel like making a festive, delicious pie! This makes an extra-tender pie crust that is easier to roll out when chilled.
Hello, if I were to blind bake this, what temperature would be best and for how long? Thank you in advance!
Hi Abe, To blind bake the Basic Pie Dough you would follow these steps:
LET dough sit at room temperature until slightly softened, 10 to 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 13-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick.
PRESS dough over bottom and up sides of a deep-dish 9-inch pie pan. Trim dough, if needed, leaving a 1/2- to 3/4-inch overhang. Fold edges under; crimp as desired. Freeze for 30 minutes.
PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Position rack in center of oven.
LINE piecrust with a sheet of greased parchment paper; fill with pie weights, dried beans or raw rice.
BAKE until crust edges feel set, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove parchment and weights. Bake until edges are lightly golden and bottom is dry and set, 8 to 10 minutes, covering crust with foil to prevent excess browning, if needed. (Crust may puff slightly in places.) Let cool completely on a wire rack.
