Best Answer

Docking is poking lots of small holes in a pastry sheet. This is done to prevent air bubbles from forming that could create an uneven surface and/or damage the structure of a pie crust, for example. I dock when blind-baking pie crusts. Blind-baking is baking the pie crust WITHOUT any filling to prevent the crust from becoming soggy during use.
