Pour ceramic baking beans over the top, placing more towards the edges to support the pie sides. Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes, until the sides become firm and crisp. Remove from the oven, carefully take out the ceramic beans and the parchment paper. Return the pastry to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, until the sides and bottom are golden brown.
