Caption: PAR BAKE THE CRUST
Caption: When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375F.
Prick the base of the crust with fork to prevent puffing while baking.
Wrap the dough in foil and place pie weights over the foil. I use dried beans as pie weights.
Bake the dough for 15 minutes.
Then carefully remove the weights and foil and bake for 7 more minutes until the edge starts to turn golden.
Remove the crust from the oven but keep the oven on.
