INGREDIENTS
MAKES ONE TART
180g flour
13g acacia gum
40g olive oil
Good pinch of salt
PREPARATION
-
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. 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).
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.
