step 1ingredients Tart Doughinstructions To Prepare Crust: On a floured board, roll the tart dough into an 11-inch circle, 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 10-inch tart pan with fluted sides and a removable bottom by rolling the dough around the pin like a carpet and then unrolling it onto the pan. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan, then trim it so it is flush with the top of the pan. Chill the tart shell while you make the topping filling.
