10-inch deep unbaked pie crust is a ready-to-use base specially designed for large pies and tarts, typically 10 inches in diameter. This crust allows you to prepare delicious pies without the need for pre-baking, which simplifies and speeds up the preparation of both sweet and savory recipes.
Originating primarily from the American culinary tradition, this crust is very popular in quick recipes where you want to avoid the process of pre-baking or "blind baking" the shell. It is especially used for creamy fillings or with ingredients that are cooked later, such as certain types of quiches, cream pies, or fruit pies.
Properties: This crust has a firm and malleable texture, which allows it to hold heavy fillings without falling apart. Since it doesn't require pre-baking, it retains a softer texture and provides a creamy and fluffy base once cooked with the filling. Furthermore, it is usually made with basic ingredients like flour, butter or shortening, and salt, which guarantees a neutral flavor ideal for combining with various ingredients.
Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: in different countries it may also be known as "base para tarta profunda sin hornear", "masa para pay sin hornear", or simply "masa para tarta sin cocción". Although "pay" is more common in Mexico and Central America, while "tarta" is widely used in South America.
