For recipe calling for unbaked pie shell, follow baking directions given in that recipe. For recipe calling for baked pie shell, heat oven to 425=B0= F.

Bake according to filling recipe. ALTERNATE ROLLING TECHNIQUE: Roll each dough pancake between unfloured sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Peel off top sheet. Flip into pie plate.
