STEP 2/6

Add egg and water into a small bowl.
Beat with a fork and set aside.

STEP 3/6

Add flour, icing sugar, cubed butter and salt into the Food Processor bowl.
Attach the lid and ensure it is locked into place.
Pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs with no lumps of butter.
While the machine is running on speed Min, add the egg mixture into the Food Processor bowl.
Mix until the mixture comes together.

 

Transfer the dough to a work surface.
Shape into a circle and flatten.
Wrap the pastry in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Roll out into a circle until 5 mm thick.
Use an upturned bowl or plate approx. 24 cm in diameter to mark a rough circle outline to work to.
Cover the centre of the circle with semolina.
(Tip: The semolina will soak up any excess moisture from the fruit, helping to ensure a crisp base.)
Arrange the sliced fruit in the centre of the pastry, leaving a 5-7 cm border.
Working clockwise, fold the pastry inwards, making approx. 7-8 pleats as you work around the fruit.
