Preheat oven to 350ºF. Press dough into pie pan. Crimp edges for a pretty pattern. Put pie shell in freezer for an hour. Fit a piece of aluminum foil in the pie plate to cover the shell completely. Fill the shell to the edges with pie weights or beans (about 2 pounds) and place in oven. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and weights and bake for another 10 minutes or until crust is dry and beginning to color.
