What makes your pie crust soft on the bottom?

A soft pie crust on the bottom can result from several factors. Using too much liquid in the dough can lead to a soggy texture, while not pre-baking the crust can allow moisture from the filling to seep into the crust. Additionally, using a fat that melts quickly, like butter, can contribute to a softer bottom crust. To achieve a crispier bottom, consider blind baking the crust and using a combination of flour types for better texture.
