2Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Place a baking tray in oven. Grease a 6cm-deep, 20cm round (base) springform pan. Using base of pan as a guide, cut 1 circle from 1 pastry sheet. Line base of prepared pan with pastry round. Cut remaining pastry sheet into 3 equal strips. Line side of pan with pastry, trimming to fit and pressing edges together (you will have some leftover pastry).
