    55 g cold water
  • Scrape down the bowl.
  • Use the spatula to see if the pastry will push together. If not add another 10sec/dough mode
  • Place a piece of plastic wrap on the bench.
  • Tip the pastry on the plastic and use the plastic to fold over the pastry and bring it in to form a cohesive square of pastry in the plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 160 fan-forced
  • When you're ready to use the pastry. Unwrap the pastry and allow it to stay on the plastic. Place another sheet of plastic over the pastry. Roll the pastry between the two sheets of plastic. This prevents the need for flour which makes the pastry tough.
  • The pastry should be rolled to approximately 2-3 mm thickness.
  • If baking blind. Spray the pie tin with oil and line it with pastry.
  • Place baking paper inside the tart shell and add weights. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove the baking weights and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Notes

*If the pastry is colouring too quickly on the edges, you can cover it with aluminum foil to prevent further browning.
