In cooking and baking, to pinch is to squeeze together dough between the thumb and forefinger for the purpose of creating a tight seal, a decorative edge or both. Filled pasta, turnovers and double-crust pies are pinched to seal their edges. A single crust pastry shell is pinched to form a decorative edge.
