What is Blind-baking?
'''Baking blind''' is the process of [[baking]] a [[pie]] [[crust]] or other [[pastry]] without the filling. Blind baking a pie crust is important when it will be filled with an unbaked filling (such as with [[pudding]] or [[Cream pie|cream pies]]). Blind baking can also be used if the filling has a shorter baking time than the crust.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/166380430|title=Advanced bread and pastry : a professional approach|last=Wing, Frank|others=Suas, Michel|date=24 July 2012 |isbn=978-1-4180-1169-7|location=Detroit|oclc=166380430}}</ref> Blind baking is also used to keep pie crust from becoming soggy because of a wet filling.<ref>{{Cite web|last=CooksInfo|title=Bake Blind|url=https://www.cooksinfo.com/bake-blind|access-date=2020-12-21|website=CooksInfo|language=en-US}}</ref> == References == {{Reflist}} {{food-stub}} [[Category:Baking]]
