Crust and Filling

1 1/2 cups 00 bread flour

1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cups granulated sugar

1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt

3 pieces egg yolks

1 cups fresh orange juice

1 tsp orange zest

1 cups granulated sugar (for filling)

1/4 cups Cornstarch

2 pieces whole eggs

Method

Preparation and Baking

Make the Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Form the Crust

Add the egg yolks to the mixture and mix until a dough forms. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork.

Pre-bake the Crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Prepare the Filling

In a saucepan, whisk together the fresh orange juice, orange zest, granulated sugar (for filling), and cornstarch until smooth. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.

Combine and Bake

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in the whole eggs until fully incorporated. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the filling is set.

Cool and Serve

Allow the tart to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with additional orange zest if desired.
