soggy crust
Saturated pie rim
Soggy crust is the soft, wet underside of baked goods—especially pizza or pie—that failed to crisp properly during cooking.
The dreaded enemy of home bakers and takeout customers alike, it results from excess moisture, underbaking, or steam trapped beneath the dough: The tomato sauce made the bottom a soggy crust.
A soggy crust is edible but disappointing.
