Notes: Always check food for doneness at the minimum time. It may be necessary to continue baking to achieve desired doneness. Note final time for future reference.
*To achieve adequate cooking of the bottom crust, you may wish to preheat the oven 75˚ higher than the suggested baking temperature. After preheat, remember to lower oven temperature for the reduced bake time. It may be necessary to shield the crust edges to prevent over browning.
**You may wish to preheat only 25˚ lower than the suggested baking temperature. After preheat, lower the temperature 50˚ for the actual baking time.
