I am just about to make a bacon and egg pie and want to blind bake the pastry first but not sure how to. I have put the pastry in the pie dish and covered it with baking paper. Do I now put rice on it and bake for 15 mins or so?

tats63, what you have done is basically what I do then I add ceramic baking beads but rice or dried beans will suffice. For more thoughts, ideas and info' re blind baking have a look at:-
no just keep the rice or whatever in a platic bag or container, it can be used over and over.

tats63, the rice can be re-used for blind-baking again and again but not for rice pudding, etc. :-))

Just make sure the rice cold before storing away for next time.

I'll never forget the first time I tried to bake blind, I was in my early teens many many years ago and didn't put the baking paper in. LOL what a mess not to mention a waste of pastry.
