Cooking Recipe
For the recipe tomato basil pie, grind flour with butter until crumbly, add salt, egg, water and knead a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the refrigerator for an hour.
After the time has elapsed, roll out the dough into a layer slightly larger than the diameter of the mold. Put the rolled out dough on the bottom of the prepared form so that low sides are obtained. Poke a few holes in the dough with a fork and place in a preheated 190°C (375°F) oven for 10 minutes.

Top the tomatoes with basil leaves, thinly sliced garlic, salt, pepper, drizzle with olive oil and place the pie in a preheated 170°C (340°F) oven. Bake tomato pie for 45 minutes. Tomato and basil pie is best served while warm.
