Instructions:
-
Prepare the Brioche Dough:
- Butter a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, dry yeast, and salt.
- Add unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles pea-sized pieces.
- Incorporate eggs and milk until well combined.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan using buttered fingertips.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for approximately 1 3/4 hours.
-
Prepare the Red Wine and Pear Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, stir together dry red wine and sugar over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Add sliced pears to the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the pears are tender, approximately 8 minutes.
- Allow the mixture to cool for 30 minutes, then transfer the pears to a plate.
- Boil the wine syrup in the saucepan until it reduces to 1 cup, about 4 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water, then stir the mixture into the wine syrup.
- Whisk occasionally and cook until the syrup thickens and boils. Set aside.
-
Assemble and Bake the Tart:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Starting at the edge of the pan and leaving a 1/2-inch plain border, arrange the pear slices in concentric circles on top of the dough.
- Sprinkle the pears and the edge of the dough with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Bake the tart until the edges are golden brown, the pears are tender, and the crust is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
- Allow the tart to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
