Shape the dough
Pour the crumbs into a large resealable plastic bag. Use the bag to gather the crumbs together tightly to form a disc. Fold the bag’s top quarter down so it becomes a rectangle. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into the corners of the folded bag to make a rectangle. Place the dough in the bag in the refrigerator. Chill the dough at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.

Prepare the June Pan
After the dough has chilled, lightly coat the bottom and sides of a June Pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the June Pan with parchment paper, then lightly spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.

Roll out the dough
Remove the chilled dough from the bag and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 11” x 16”, dusting the dough and pin with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
kitchen shears
Form the crust
Transfer the dough from the surface to the prepared June Pan by rolling it lightly onto the rolling pin and unrolling it over the June Pan. Press the dough into the June Pan, making sure the dough reaches the top edge of the pan on all sides.
Prick and chill the crust
Prick the dough all over with the tines of a fork to allow the steam to escape during baking. Place the dough-lined June Pan in the refrigerator and chill at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.
