I made this crust yesterday and noticed that while the crust was setting in the oven, it started to puff in certain areas. Is this normal? Should the crust be docked?
Yeast crust will sometimes puff while baking solo without the toppings- either air is trapped underneath the crust or in the crust. If you prefer it flatter, poke the air pockets as they appear (as you might for a pastry crust baked without filling that may puff instead of lie flat). Happy GF Baking! Irene @ KAF
