How to Prepare Tuna Pie:

  3. Pre-Bake the Dough:

    • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and prick it all over with a fork.
    • Cover the dough with parchment paper and add dry beans or pie weights on top to prevent it from rising during baking.
    • Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 10 minutes.

  5. Bake the Pie:
