Ingredients

Techniques
  • simple puff pastry
Prick the bottom piece of pastry all over with a fork, as for a pie crust.
Assembling the strawberry jam tart
  • 1 jar strawberry jam
  • water
Spread the strawberry jam over the bottom piece and wet the ends before flipping them up.
Move it onto a baking sheet and lay the slit top piece over the jam, wetting the sides and evening it out.
Press the fork edging all around and brush off the loose flour.
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 tsp water
Chill half an hour, then paint the surface with the egg glaze, wait a moment and give it a second coat.
Egg glaze and cross-hatching
Bake at 450F for 20 minutes, then turn down to 400F for a further 30 to 40 minutes, rotating halfway.
If the top separates from the bottom, reconnect them and prop a loaf pan against the tart to hold it in place while it bakes.
