5. [3:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcW96dhhbu4&t=207s) Shape the dough into pieces, wrap in paper, cut in half, and flatten into 1-inch thick discs.

8. [4:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcW96dhhbu4&t=265s) Roll out the chilled dough on a floured pastry mat into a thin pie crust.
9. [5:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcW96dhhbu4&t=326s) Transfer the crust into a pie dish, gently press it in, and trim the edges.
10. [6:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcW96dhhbu4&t=386s) Line the pie crust with paper and chill in the freezer.
11. [7:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcW96dhhbu4&t=430s) Fill the paper-lined crust with foil and pie weights, then bake at 425°F.

14. [10:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcW96dhhbu4&t=615s) Remove pie weights and paper from the crust, dock the bottom with a fork, and return to the oven briefly.
