Thanks, Amanda.  I love this crust so much that I am trying to extend it's range!Mary

Amanda H. · Answer

That sounds right and if you notice browning early on, you can always turn the heat down to 350 F.

Mary F. · Answer

Thanks, Amanda!  Any advice about what temperature and for how long?  I was thinking 375 with foil and pie weights for the first 15, then remove foil/weights and bake another 10 min?  watching for browning, all the while?

Amanda H. · Answer

Mary, I've never blind baked it but I think it's worth trying. Just make sure you really shore up the sides with pie weights (or beans or whatever you use) so that it doesn't sag.
