Cook the sugar mixture until it turns to an amber color. Once it achieves
that color, take off from heat and slowly stir in the cream (note: the mixture
will bubble quite a bit so it is important to do this step slowly and off the
heat). Then stir in the toasted walnuts.
While caramel is cooking, spread the raspberry jam on the cooled tart shell.
Pour the caramel-walnut mixture on top of the raspberry layer.
Place the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water. Once the
chocolate is almost fully melted, remove from heat and stir to cool to room
temperature. Drizzle chocolate over the caramel nut tart. Chill in refrigerator
for 3 hours, or over night.

Pizza Dough
This dough freezes very well.
Makes three 12-inch (30 cm) pizzas
2¼
teaspoons (14 cm) active dry yeast
½
cup warm (105° to 110°F [40° to 43°C]) water
1
teaspoon (5 ml) granulated sugar
4
cups (1 L) unbleached, all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1½
teaspoons (7 ml) sea or kosher salt
1
tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
1
cup (250 ml) cold water
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes,
or until the mixture gets foamy.
Place the flour, salt and olive oil in the work bowl of a Cuisinart® Food
Processor fitted with the dough blade. Pulse about 5 times to mix; scrape
down the sides of the bowl.
Add the cold water to the yeast mixture. With the motor running, slowly
pour the liquid yeast mixture through the feed tube. Process until a dough
ball forms. Continue to let the machine run for an additional minute to
knead. Dough will be slightly sticky.
Lightly dust a sealable plastic bag with flour. Dust dough with flour. Place
the dough into the floured bag; squeeze out all of the air and seal. Let rise
in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
