bowl. Bring a small pan of water to a simmer and turn off the heat. Place
the bowl of chocolate and butter over the hot water and stir to melt.
Combine the corn syrup and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a full
rolling boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate
mixture. Beat the eggs and salt with the optional rum. Beat in the
chocolate mixture, taking care not to overbeat. Assembling. Lightly flour
the work surface and dough. Roll the dough to a 14-inch diameter disk, 1/8
inch thick. Line a 10-inch tart pan with the dough, trimming away the
excess. Stir the chipped hazelnuts into the filling and pour the filling
into the pan. Baking. Bake at 350 degree F until the filling is set and the
crust is baked through, about 40 minutes. Holding. Store the tart at room
temperature up to 2 days.
