Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in cling film, and refrigerate.

Roll out one disc of pastry and line a 9-inch fluted tart tin.

Trim the edges and prick the base with a fork.

Pre-bake the pastry at 180°C for 15 minutes with baking beads.

Remove the baking beads and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
