6. Bring it together with your hands into a single lump..
7. Wrap cleanly with plastic wrap, then put into a plastic bag and let chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour~overnight..
8. Once the dough has chilled, rub to soften. Sandwich between two layers of plastic wrap, then use a rolling pin to roll it out to 4mm thickness..
9. Remove the top layer of plastic wrap. Lightly oil a tart mold, then place on top of the dough..
