line your unbaked crust with foil after using a fork to prick thecrust all over. Add dry beans or pie weights and bake usually I think 20 mins to 30 but I can't remember for sure. wendy

Also allow the crust to rest in the fridge after rolling it out but prior
to fitting it into the pie pan. Rested it won't tend to unstretch.

Ahhh.... Now THAT'S what I was looking for. I learned to weigh the
crust down to prevent "puffing" a long time ago. The sides continue to
shrink down (usually unevenly) despite weights. I am always very
careful to avoid stretching the dough but some may be unavoidable. How
do you recommend fitting it into fridge? Folded?
