Caramel Tart

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Tip: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   Combine the pastry dough ingredients in a large bowl and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

   Tip: Resting the dough will help it relax and become easier to roll out.

3. 3

   Roll out the chilled pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 3mm.

   Tip: Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness for an even bake.

4. 4

   Transfer the rolled-out pastry to a 23cm (9-inch) tart pan with a removable bottom.

   Tip: Press the pastry into the corners of the pan for a secure fit.

5. 5

   Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from bubbling during baking.

   Tip: This step will also help the pastry cook evenly.

6. 6

   Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.

   Tip: This step will help the pastry cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too brown.

7. 7

   Bake the pastry for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and pie weights or beans.

   Tip: Continue baking for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
