MAKES ONE TART

  • 180g flour
  • 13g acacia gum
  • 40g olive oil
  • Good pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. Mix the flour with the acacia gum and the salt, then add the olive oil and mix with your fingertips until the oil is thoroughly incorporated.
  2. Bring a glass of water to a gentle simmer, then gradually pour it in to the dry ingredients, mixing until it forms a soft, non-sticky ball of dough (around 80ml).
  3. Roll out the dough and bake for around 25 minutes at 180°C.

Why use acacia gum in this recipe ?

Acacia gum gives you a much prettier pastry: it’s smoother, whiter, crispier, rather than soggy or paste-like.
