circumference of the mold. You can then press a decorative edge
around the rim of the pastry with the dull edge of a knife. Chill in
refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
4. Adjust the rack to position 2. Set the oven to Bake with Convection at
350°F for 25 minutes. Using a fork, prick the dough evenly all over, but
make sure not to go entirely through the dough. Line the shell with
parchment and weigh it down with dried beans or rice. Once
preheated, place into oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the
dough under the parchment is no longer wet. Remove the beans/rice
and parchment and continue baking for the remaining 5 minutes, until
the shell is golden brown.
