Pricking a series of tiny holes in a pie crust to allow steam to escape and prevent puffing during baking is called what?
Answer Docking
Docking a pie crust is often done by poking the tines of a fork repeatedly into the raw crust to create a series of small holes that steam can escape through during the baking process. This prevents steam from building up and pushing bubbles upward, creating a puffy and uneven crust.
