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.

Bir tart, popüler bir tür fırınlanmış yemektir. Alt tabakası hamurdan yapılmış ve üst tabakası tatlı veya tuzlu malzemelerle doldurulmuştur. Hamur genellikle sert ve biraz ufalanabilir. Bu, daha yumuşak olan ve üstü bir hamur tabakası ile kaplı olan turtalardan farklıdır.

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.

Tartların tarihi uzun yıllar öncesine dayanır. İlk olarak ortaçağ Avrupası'nda yapılmışlardır. O zamanlar, tartlar çoğunlukla etle doldurulurdu ve insanlar için yaygın bir yemekti. Zamanla, insanlar tatlı tartlar yapmaya başladı. Bu tatlı tartlar genellikle meyve, fındık ve şeker içerirdi.

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.

Tart yapmak kolaydır. İlk olarak, hamuru hazırlar ve düz bir daire şeklinde şekillendirirsiniz. Sonra, hamuru yuvarlak ve sığ bir kaba bastırırsınız. Daha sonra, hamura seçtiğiniz dolguyu eklersiniz. Tatlı bir tart için elma, kiraz veya limon kullanabilirsiniz. Tuzlu bir tart için peynir, domates veya soğan kullanabilirsiniz.

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.

Dolgu ekledikten sonra, tartı kabuk altın kahverengi olana ve dolgu pişene kadar fırında pişirirsiniz. Piştiğinde, tartı fırından çıkarır ve soğumaya bırakırsınız.

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.

Dünyanın dört bir yanındaki birçok insan tartları sever. Kafelerde ve fırınlarda bulunabilirler. İnsanlar tartları tatlı olarak veya yemeklerinin bir parçası olarak severler.

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.

İlginç bilgi: Fransa'da "tarte Tatin" adı verilen ünlü bir turta var. 1800'lerin sonunda Tatin kardeşler tarafından kazara yaratıldı. Geleneksel bir elmalı turta yapmaya çalışıyorlardı ama elmaları tereyağı ve şekerle çok uzun süre pişirdiler. Hatayı düzeltmek için hamuru elmaların üzerinde pişirdiler. Sonuç o kadar lezzetliydi ki Fransa'da sevilen bir tarif haline geldi.
