1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. In a large oven-proof bowl, add all the tart ingredients, except for the flour. Place into the oven for 10 minutes. Take out, and be careful! The bowl is very hot. Add in the flour, and immediately mix. You should have a ball, in which you will place onto the tart pan. Using your utensil of choice, begin to spread the dough along the pan. Once the dough is warm enough to touch, use your fingers and palms to even out. The dough should look like the picture below. Then, with a fork, poke the tart dough about ten times. Bake for 15 minutes, just enough time for the edges to brown.
