1. Preheat oven to 350°F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 325°F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan).

Press reserved dough 2 inches up side of pan. Increase oven temperature to 450°F (or to 425°F if using a dark nonstick pan).

Notes
It is best to bake cheesecake in a pan of water. Water should come up about 1/2 way on the cake pan. This prevents the cake from cracking.
