pre-baking
Crust before filling
Pre-baking is partially or fully baking a component before final assembly or cooking.
Pie crusts are often pre-baked to prevent sogginess when filled with wet ingredients: Pre-bake the crust for ten minutes before adding the filling.
Also called blind baking when referring to empty pastry shells.
