Step by step

Preparing the dough:

1. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, rub the yeast with the sugar until completely dissolved. This step is essential to activate the yeast and achieve a fluffy dough.

2. Mixing the ingredients: In a larger bowl, place the sifted flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and start kneading.

3. Adding water: Gradually pouring in the warm water, continue kneading until the dough becomes non-sticky. It is important not to add all the water at once to control the dough consistency.

4. Incorporating the oil: Finally, add the oil and knead again to incorporate it well. The dough should be elastic and soft.

5. Proofing: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and place it in a draft-free area for about 30 minutes, during which it will rise and become airy.

Preparing the filling:

6. Preparing the ingredients: Wash the chicken breast and cut it into suitable pieces. Peel and finely chop the onion. Drain the canned mushrooms and rinse them under cold water.

7. Cooking the filling: In a pan, heat the two tablespoons of oil. Add the onion and chicken breast, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the chicken changes color.

8. Adding the mushrooms: Incorporate the mushrooms and let it cook for another minute. Then pour in 1-2 cups of water, seasoning with salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Allow to simmer until the liquid reduces. This step will intensify the flavors.

9. Cooling the filling: Once the filling is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. This will help prevent the dough from getting soggy.

Assembling the tart:

10. Preparing the dough: Sprinkle flour on the work surface and turn out the risen dough. Roll it out to a medium thickness, large enough to cover the bottom and edges of a tart pan.

11. Lining the pan: Place the dough sheet in the lined tart pan. Press the edges with your fingers and prick with a fork to prevent air bubbles during baking.

12. Filling the tart: Pour the chicken and mushroom filling into the crust, add the corn kernels, and spread the sour cream evenly. This creamy layer will give an irresistible taste.

13. Finishing: Grate the cheese and sprinkle it over the filling. It will melt beautifully, giving the tart a golden and appetizing crust.

14. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the tart inside. Let it bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until it becomes golden and crispy on top.

15. Serving: When ready, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. You can serve the tart plain or with a fresh salad for a delicious contrast.

Useful tips

- For perfect dough: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, and the water used is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.

- Variations: You can experiment with the filling by adding vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers, or replace the chicken breast with turkey or even cheese for a vegetarian option.

- Storage: The tart keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
