Tart 
Read a short passage about how a pastry filled with fruits or custard became a sweet and popular treat. 
1.1
A tart is a popular kind of baked dish.  It has a bottom layer made of dough and a top layer filled with sweet or savory ingredients.  The dough is usually firm and a bit crumbly.  This is different from pies, which are softer and covered with a layer of dough on top. 

タルトは人気のある焼き菓子の一種です。生地で作られた底の層と、甘いまたは塩味の具材が詰まった上の層があります。生地は通常固く、少しぼろぼろしています。これは、より柔らかく、上に生地の層で覆われているパイとは異なります。

1.2
The history of tarts goes back many years.  They were first made in medieval Europe.  During that time, tarts were mostly filled with meat and were a common meal for people.  Over time, people started to make sweet tarts.  These sweet tarts often had fruit, nuts, and sugar. 

タルトの歴史は何年も前にさかのぼります。 それらは中世ヨーロッパで最初に作られました。 当時、タルトはほとんど肉で満たされており、人々の一般的な食事でした。 時間が経つにつれて、人々は甘いタルトを作り始めました。 これらの甘いタルトには、しばしば果物、ナッツ、砂糖が含まれていました。

1.3
Tarts are easy to make.  First, you prepare the dough and shape it into a flat circle.  Then, you press the dough into a round, shallow dish.  Next, you add your chosen filling to the dough.  For a sweet tart, you might use apples, cherries, or lemons.  For a savory tart, you might use cheese, tomatoes, or onions. 

タルトは簡単に作れます。まず、生地を準備して平らな円形に成形します。次に、生地を丸くて浅い皿に押し込みます。その後、選んだフィリングを生地に加えます。甘いタルトには、リンゴ、チェリー、またはレモンを使うかもしれません。塩味のタルトには、チーズ、トマト、またはタマネギを使うかもしれません。

1.4
After adding the filling, you bake the tart in an oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is cooked.  When it is done, you take the tart out of the oven and let it cool. 

フィリングを加えた後、タルトをオーブンで焼き、クラストがきつね色になり、フィリングが調理されるまで焼きます。できたら、タルトをオーブンから取り出し、冷まします。

1.5
Many people around the world love tarts.  They can be found in cafes and bakeries.  People enjoy tarts as a dessert or as a part of their meal. 

世界中の多くの人々がタルトを愛しています。それらはカフェやベーカリーで見つけることができます。人々はデザートや食事の一部としてタルトを楽しみます。

1.6
Fun fact: In France, there is a famous tart called "tarte Tatin."  It was created by accident by the Tatin sisters in the late 1800s.  They were trying to make a traditional apple pie but ended up cooking the apples in butter and sugar for too long.  To fix the mistake, they baked the pastry on top of the apples.  The result was so delicious that it became a beloved recipe in France. 

豆知識:フランスには「タルト・タタン」という有名なタルトがあります。これは1800年代後半にタタン姉妹によって偶然に作られました。彼女たちは伝統的なアップルパイを作ろうとしていましたが、リンゴをバターと砂糖で長時間調理しすぎてしまいました。間違いを修正するために、彼女たちはリンゴの上にパイ生地を焼きました。その結果はとても美味しく、フランスで愛されるレシピになりました。
