Mix until a soft workable ball forms in the bowl; do not overmix.
6
Add a small amount of flour if necessary.
7
Shape the dough with your hands into a flattened disc.

Use quick gentle strokes to start rolling from the center outward in each direction, like a compass.

Transfer the parchment covered dough onto a baking sheet.
11
Refrigerate the dough on the baking sheet while preparing the blueberry filling.
12
To make blueberry basil filling:

17
Remove dough from refrigerator.
19
Pour blueberry filling over tart dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
20
Fold the dough border over the blueberry filling to form a pleated ruffle.

Brush the folded dough border with 2 teaspoons oil, then pat the berries with the rest.
