Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth. Shape into a 20cm disc. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill for 30 minutes.
2.Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Place a 25cm (base measurement) fluted tart pan with removable base on a baking tray. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry between two sheets of baking paper until about 30cm in diameter. Line prepared pan with pastry, trimming to fit. Line pastry with baking paper. Cover the base with dried beans, rice or pie weights. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove weights and paper. Bake for a further 10 minutes or until just coloured.
