Prepare the crust as directed in the recipe until it’s ready to use.
Roll the pie crust into a 14-inch circle and line a pie pan with the dough.
Fold the ends under and crimp the edges as desired.
Poke the bottom all over with the tines of a fork.
Freeze for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the bottom third and preheat the oven to 425F.
Once the oven is hot, remove the pie from the freezer and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
Line with a square of parchment paper.
Add enough dried beans or pie weights to fill the center.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Take a peak under the parchment by carefully lifting up an edge.
If the bottom of the crust is pooled with melted butter, cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the pie crust from the oven.
Carefully lift out the parchment paper and pie weights and set them aside to cool.
Return the crust to the oven and continue baking until the bottom appears dry and begins to brown, about 10 more minutes.
Let the pie crust cool completely before filling.
