- Preheat oven to 220°C. Set aside a baking tray (30 x 40 cm).
- Place flour and butter into mixing bowl and mix 3 sec/speed 4.
- Add water, lemon juice, salt and egg yolk and mix 10 sec/speed 4. Transfer onto a floured work surface, shape into a ball, then flatten into a disc. Roll dough out between 2 sheets of baking paper into a circle (approx. 30 cm wide, 3 mm thick), dusting pastry and rolling pin with flour and lifting pastry as needed. Transfer pastry with baking paper onto baking tray. Remove top sheet of baking paper and set aside. Clean and dry mixing bowl.
- Place garlic, spring onions/shallots and chives into mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 7. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.
- Add ricotta, sour cream, 1 egg, pepper and salt and mix 5 sec/speed 4.
- Transfer mixture into centre of the reserved pastry, leaving a 5 cm border. Quickly lift border over the edge of the filling, pinching it slightly as you go (avoid pastry on pastry, make sure to lift your pastry over filling). Arrange half of the tomatoes on top of filling and season with extra salt and pepper. Brush pastry rim with beaten egg and bake for 20-22 minutes (220°C), until pastry is cooked and golden brown.
- Garnish with rocket, remaining tomatoes and pine nuts (optional), then drizzle with vino cotto to serve.

Tip
For best results, pastry requires a cool environment. Use cold ingredients, cold hands and put your utensils into the freezer to chill if possible. If you feel your pastry is getting too soft while you are working, place into the freezer for a few minutes before continuing.
You can use cherry tomatoes of choice. We used a variety of types, sizes and colours.
Made from grape must, vino cotto is a thick, sweet/sour syrup used to enhance the flavour of both savoury and sweet dishes. You can find it at gourmet food stores or online. If it's not available, you can replace it with a good-quality olive oil, balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar in this recipe.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

This was disappointing, I thought this would be like a pizza base but instead it was like a biscuit base, very crumbly and difficult to eat
