Baked Whole Wheat Salsa Tart Recipe

Step 1: To begin making Baked Whole Wheat Salsa Tart Recipe, we will first have to get the pie dough ready and refrigerate it for a couple of hours

Step 2: First get all the ingredients ready for the pie dough and get your butter cut into small pea size pieces

Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar

Step 4: Add the butter into the flour mixture

Step 5: Work the butter into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles a coarse meal

Step 6: When you hold the flour together, it should hold tight and when you let it loose, it will fall apart

Step 7: Sprinkle ice water onto the flour and butter mixture

Step 8: Using your hands push the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl to form a ball that holds together

Step 9: Make sure to add little water at a time, as the heat from your hands will melt the butter and help form the dough as well

Step 10: You can transfer the pie dough onto a work surface and knead the dough until all the flour has come together to form a smooth dough

Step 11: Once done, wrap the dough in a cling film or a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a couple of hours

Step 12: This refrigeration process helps to give the pie crust a flaky texture

Step 13: Once refrigerated, we are now ready to roll the dough to form a crust

Step 14: Preheat the oven at 180 C

Step 15: Place the dough on a generously floured surface and roll the pie dough into a 9 inch round

Step 16: Transfer the pie dough into the pie crust pan and press it down to fit the dough into pie pan from the sides as well

Step 17: If there is an excess dough, remove it

Step 18: Fork the crust all around so that it does not puff up when baking

Step 19: We will now pre-bake the tart crust

Step 20: Place the tart pan in the oven and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes until you notice the crust is turning golden

Step 21: Once you notice the crust is turning golden, remove from the oven and keep aside

Step 22: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except the cheese

Step 23: Check the salt and spice and adjust to suit your taste

Step 24: Pour this Salsa mixture into the prepared tart crust, spread the mozzarella cheese on the top and place it in the oven to make

Step 25: Bake for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts

Step 26: Once the cheese melts, the Baked Whole Wheat Salsa Tart is ready

Step 27: Remove from the oven and wait for a few minutes before cutting it to serve

Step 28: Serve the Baked Whole Wheat Salsa Tart along with a glass of wine as an appetizer for your parties
