Then follow one of the 3 following methods;

• Blind Bake Without Weights
  The first method we'll show you how to blind bake without weights, this is called docking the pie crust.
  Docking is the term for the simplest method of blind baking where you simply take a fork and prick the dough all over.
  These holes you produce allow the steam to escape and prevents the crust from bubbling up.
  
  The only time when you might want to use pie weights instead of docking is when the filling is very liquidy, as with quiche or other pies that will be fully baked in the oven.
  It is certainly not advisable for pies with wet fillings, as these can seep through the holes and then into or under the crust itself.
  
• Directions For Blind Baking Without Weights
• Roll out your pie dough.
• After you've rolled out the dough, using a fork, pierce the surface of the pastry dough all over making sure you get the sides too
• Throw into the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden.
• Blind Bake With Pie Weights
  A safer method is to weigh the crust down with “pie weights.”
  When using this method for a fully baked crust, the weights are removed before the pre-baking is complete in order to achieve a browned crust.
  
  Here, the pie crust is lined with aluminium foil or parchment paper, then filled with pastry- or pie weights (sometimes called "baking beans") to ensure the crust retains its shape while baking.
  
• Directions For Blind Baking Using Weights
• Line the base and sides of an uncooked pastry case with non-stick baking paper or foil.
• Fill it with dried beans, or rice, or macaroni elbows, or metal or ceramic baking weights.
• Place on a baking tray and cook in an oven preheated to 220°C (428°F) for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove the pastry case from the oven and remove the baking paper or foil and weights.
• Cook for a further 5-10 minutes or until light golden.
• Blind Bake Using Another Pie Pan
  If you own two pie pans, you already have a perfectly shaped pie weight.
  This technique dispenses with weights by placing a second pie tin on top of the crust, then inverting the tins to bake.
  This will weigh down the crust and prevent it from puffing.
  
  In this method, the crust browns between the tins.
  
• Directions For Blind Baking Using Another Pie Pan
• Cover the dough-lined pie pan with parchment or foil.
• Place the second, empty pie pan on top.
• Place on a baking tray and cook in an oven preheated to 220°C (428°F) for 8-10 minutes.
