6. Rolling Magic: When you’re ready to use the dough, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle that’s about 1/8 inch thick.

7. Crust Placement: Gently place the rolled-out dough into a pie dish. Press it gently against the bottom and sides of the dish, ensuring there are no air pockets.

8. Trim and Decorate: Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges of the pie dish using a sharp knife or kitchen shears. If you’re making a single-crust pie, you can crimp the edges decoratively.

9. Pie Perfection: Follow the instructions for your specific pie recipe to fill and bake the pie crust according to the recipe’s guidelines.
