How to prevent the bottom of pies from getting wet after baking: an expert answers

Bad weather and lack of sunshine in the springtime always make you feel bad. To cheer it up, you can bake a homemade flavorful pie.

But you should definitely use the tips given by chef Mark Greenaway. He recently told the Mirror how to make a homemade pie so that its bottom is not soggy immediately after baking.

According to Mark, the crust is one of the most important indicators of pie quality. Moreover, this crust should be both on top and bottom of the pie and differ only in the strength of the baking. After all, no one wants to take a beautiful pie with a golden brown crust out of the oven and see that its bottom is completely soggy.

To avoid such disappointments, you just need to follow Greenaway's advice. Mark advises to preheat the baking sheet thoroughly before putting the cake on it and baking it.

To get a beautiful and golden brown crust on top of the cake, Mark advises against using egg yolk with milk. Instead, sugar diluted in water in a 1:1 ratio will do just fine. Greasing any dish with this mixture will result in an amazing crispy crust.
