Tart BaseAfter about 20 mins, take out both dough and unwrap. Lay water dough on top of the oil dough. Flatten the water dough to about the size of oil dough. Dust the dough with flour and roll out the dough to rectangular/oblong shape. Fold both long ends to the middle and then fold to half. This is first fold. Roll it to rectangular shape. Repeat folding. This is second fold. Roll it out to rectangular again. Fold it once more. This third fold. Cling wrap this dough at the folded shape. Leave it in the fridge for another 20 mins. If at any time you feel that the butter in the dough is melting too fast and dough gets really oily, just cover them back in a cling wrap and leave in the fridge before continuing. |
