Pie crust, dough and package

The package combination disclosed comprising a mass of prepared crust dough to be reshaped by rolling within its packaging receptacle into crust form, two thinly formed sheets of flexible material secured together adjacent their peripheral edge to form a receptacle inclosing said dough mass with said receptacle being significantly larger than the dough mass to allow movement and reshaping of the dough mass within the receptacle, means forming air passing ports extending into said receptacle for passing air into and from said receptacle as said receptacle is extended and the dough therein rolled into crust form said ports being sufficiently small as to allow the passing of air into and from the receptacle without allowing the viscus dough material extruding excessively from the receptacle through these ports during a normal dough rolling operation and during such time as relatively high pressures are applied to the dough within the receptacle.

A package combination including a prepared dough mass, a waffer-like receptacle significantly larger than the dough mass inclosing said dough mass and comprised of thinly formed sheets of transparent flexible plastic secured together in a manner to define by their secured together surfaces the configuration of said receptacle, means forming air passing ports extending into said receptacle and operative to pass air into said receptacle as the edge of said receptacle is extended from said dough mass and to pass air from said receptacle as said dough mass is rolled within the receptacle into crust form and with said air passing ports being sufficiently small as to allow the passage of air into and from the receptacle without allowing the viscus dough extruding excessively from the receptacle through these ports during a normal dough rolling operation and during such time as relatively high pressures are applied to the dough within the receptacle.
