Cheese tart
Put into a food-processor bowl: 500 g flour, 1 Egg, 50 g olive oil, 20 g yeast, 10 g salt, 100 g Soured dough and 270 ml water.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Stage 4 - 10 min.

Stage 6 - 10 min.
Cheese tart
Roll out each ball with a rolling pin into a circle the same size as your tart case or mould (approx. 26 cm or 10 inches approx).

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Stage 8 - 2 hours

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Mix 270 g cream, 270 g grated cheese and 60 ml dry white wine in a bowl then pepper generously.

Stage 10 - 5 min.
Cheese tart
Spread a layer of filling in each case. You should allow about 130 g per tart.

Bake for around 20 to 25 minutes, watching for colouration. It is important not to overcook the tarts, otherwise they will dry out.
Remarks
Disposable aluminium cases are practical for this recipe as they allow for easy cooking and freezing.

You may well have some dough left over. If so, weigh out 100 g portions, wrap in plastic film and freeze to use as soured dough later.
Keeping: A few hours once cooked, otherwise several weeks in the freezer.
