Procedure for Tart with Shortcrust Pastry and Greek Yogurt

  • In a large mixer or blender, place the yogurt, sugar, and baking powder.

    Start the blades running and then gradually add the flour, and finally pour in the vegetable oil slowly.

    Finish with the grated lemon zest and let everything blend together.
    Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand until you get a small dough.

    The dough does not need to rest in the fridge! 🙂 It will be manageable immediately.

    Roll it out with a rolling pin on a sheet of parchment paper and transfer it to our mold.

    Fill our shortcrust pastry with whatever we like, such as hazelnut cream, jams, or ricotta and chocolate chips.


    Create the decorations you prefer and transfer it to a preheated oven.
    Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes in static mode.

    Be sure to let it cool before biting into it! It will be delicious and very fragrant.

Advice

You can prepare the tart in advance and store it in an airtight container, in the fridge, for about two days. You can also portion the tart and freeze it.
The shortcrust pastry with Greek yogurt is egg-free and butter-free, so it does not need to rest in the fridge to be workable, but if you intend to prepare the dough to use it later, it is possible to freeze the raw dough, wrapped in plastic wrap.
