Shiitake Roasted Red Pepper Puff Pastry Tart Recipe 465

Steps:

• Dough:.
• Dissolve yeast and honey in warm water in a large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes.
• Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Stir 1 cup bread flour and 1 tablespoon oil into yeast mixture. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°F), free from drafts, 1 1/2 hours or until bubbly.
• Stir in 1/2 cup bread flour, whole wheat flour, and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); dough will feel tacky. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, for 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into the dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 10 minutes.
• Topping:.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, thyme sprigs, garlic, and bay leaves; cook for 15 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring frequently.
• Remove from heat. Discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
• Preheat broiler.
• While onion is cooking, cut bell peppers in half lengthwise, discarding seeds and membranes. Place the pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil for 15 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag, and seal. Let stand for 15 minutes. Peel and coarsely chop.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Roll the dough into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Place the dough on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Top with the onion mixture and the chopped bell pepper. Sprinkle with black pepper. Bake at 425°F for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped thyme. Cut into 8 squares, and cut each square in half diagonally. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Unfold the pastry sheet on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and score a 3/4-inch border on each side with the tip of a paring knife. Beat the egg in a medium bowl. Brush the border with some of the egg. Prick the rest of the crust all over with a fork and bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Gently press the center of the pastry to flatten large air pockets. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Add the mushrooms, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges start to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool slightly. Add the mushrooms, red peppers, cheese, 1 tablespoon of the tarragon, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the remaining beaten egg and gently stir to combine. Spread the mixture over the tart, leaving the border uncovered. Sprinkle the almonds over the vegetables and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the topping is heated through, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon tarragon. Cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Cook bell peppers in oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes, then cool.
• Unfold pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut out an 8-inch round from each. Transfer rounds to a buttered large baking sheet and prick all over with a fork, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges.
• Spread 2 tablespoons cheese evenly over each round, then scatter with peppers and sprinkle with thyme, kosher salt, and pepper to taste.
• Bake tarts in middle of oven until puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
• Cut each tart into 8 wedges and serve warm.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, roll out puff pastry to an 11-by-14-inch rectangle. Trim edges to make a neat rectangle and transfer pastry on parchment to a rimmed baking sheet (trim parchment to fit, if necessary). With a sharp knife, score a 1/2-inch border around edges. With a fork, prick pastry all over inside border. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Add mushrooms and tarragon and cook until mushrooms begin to soften, about 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Bake puff pastry until light golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with mushroom mixture, staying within border. Carefully crack eggs on top of mushroom mixture, spacing them evenly, and bake until pastry is golden and egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 10 minutes. To serve, sprinkle with tarragon and Parmesan and cut into 6 squares.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly spread flour on rolling pin. Place puff pastry sheet on piece of cooking parchment paper; roll into 11x10-inch rectangle. Keep pastry on parchment; transfer to large cookie sheet. Score dough 1/2 inch from edge all the way around. Poke all over with fork. Bake 14 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat Goat Cheese Spread ingredients with whisk. In small bowl, mix bell pepper, artichoke hearts, arugula, Parmesan cheese, olive oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
• Drop goat cheese mixture by dollops evenly over center of tart, on top of hot dough; let stand 1 minute. Spread cheese mixture to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top with pepper and artichoke mixture, followed by pine nuts. Cut into 4 rows by 3 rows.

Steps:

• Roll out the pastry onto a floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use to line a 20 x 3.5cm deep loose-based tart tin. Prick the base with a fork, cover and chill for 30 mins, or put in the freezer for 15 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line the pastry with baking parchment and fill with baking beans (or dried rice or beans). Put the tin on a baking sheet and bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment and beans and cook for another 8-10 mins until a pale biscuit colour. Turn the oven down to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large pan, heat the oil over a medium heat, add the onion, fennel and pepper, and cook for about 15 mins until soft and beginning to caramelise. Add the garlic and cook for a few mins more. Allow to cool.
• Lightly whisk the eggs, cream and milk together, then add the paprika and some seasoning. Tip the veg into the tart shell and dot over with cheese and olives. Pour over the eggs, then put the tin in the oven. Bake the tart for 20-25 mins until golden and set. Cool on a wire rack, then remove from the tin and cut into slices. Serve with caper berries scattered around, if you like. This can be eaten at room temperature or reheated later.
