Baking Beans

Baking beans provide a simple way to control cooking during 'blind' baking. Blind baking refers to the process of baking a pie crust or pastry without a filling. Baking beans act as small weights that can be pushed down into the dough of a pie, stopping the shell from rising too much as it bakes. The ceramic beans also absorb extra heat, and help the shell to keep its shape. Wash and seal your dough thoroughly with our choice of professional pastry brushes.
