Baking Instructions for PB125

Product thawing

Place the pastry shells on bench/ baking tray to thaw to room temperature - approximately 30 minutes.

Oven temperature

Pre-heat fan forced oven to 210 - 215°C.

Fill temperature

Ensure your pie fill mixture is at room temperature.

• If the fill is too hot the fat in the pastry will melt and the filling will boil out before the pastry is baked.
• If the fill is too cold the pastry will not bake out.

Assembly

• Once the pie shells have thawed, fill each shell with room temperature pie filling - take care not to over fill the shells or allow any fill in between the pastry and the foil, as this will cause the pastry to stick to the foil and prevent the pastry from baking evenly.
• Pipe mash on top of the pie filling.

Baking time

• Space out the finished pies on a baking tray to allow for ample air circulation in the oven.
• Place baking tray into pre-heated 210 - 215°C oven and bake for approximately 18 - 20 minutes.
