Baking beads to prevent dough from puffing

During blind baking, the dough can form bubbles or lift.

This is why it is useful to place a weight on the crust before baking it.

Thanks to these ceramic beads, the dough remains better held in place during baking.

Thus, you can prepare a pie crust before adding cream, fruit, or another filling.

Moreover, this method is suitable for many tart and quiche recipes.

An 8 mm diameter for good distribution

Each weight has an 8 mm diameter.

Thanks to their small size, the beads can be distributed over the bottom of the mold.

Additionally, their weight helps keep the dough in place.

Thus, you can cover the surface to be baked according to your recipe’s needs.

For best results, ensure the beads are evenly distributed.

Reusable ceramic weights

These weights are made of beige ceramic.

Thanks to this material, they are suitable for blind baking doughs.

Furthermore, they can be reused after proper maintenance.

This allows you to avoid using disposable weights for each baking session.

Finally, their size allows them to be stored in a container after use.

Baking weights are practical for preparing a dough base before filling it.

For example, you can use them for a fruit tart where the cream is added after baking.
