pie weights
Blind-baking pellets used
Pie weights are small, heavy objects placed on pastry dough during blind baking—when a crust is baked without filling.
They prevent the dough from puffing up or shrinking.
Commercial pie weights are typically ceramic or metal beads, though dried beans or rice serve the same purpose: Line the crust with parchment and fill with pie weights.
