Are you ready to create a mouthwatering crostata that will impress your friends and family? Look no further! In this guide, we will show you the steps to make a soft and tender crostata that will have everyone begging for more. Follow along and let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fruit jam (your choice of flavor)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate small bowl, beat one egg together with the vanilla extract. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture.

Continue to mix until a dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) tart or pie pan. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pan, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides.

Step 3: Add the Fruit Filling

Spoon the fruit jam onto the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Leave a small border around the edges.

Step 4: Create the Lattice Top

If desired, you can create a lattice top for your crostata by cutting thin strips of dough and weaving them over the filling.

Alternatively, you can simply cover the jam with another layer of rolled-out dough, sealing the edges by crimping them with a fork.

Step 5: Bake and Serve

Place the filled crostata into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Once baked, remove the crostata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Now that you know how to make a soft and tender crostata, it’s time to put your newfound skills to the test. Gather your ingredients, follow the steps carefully, and enjoy the delicious rewards. Your friends and family will be in awe of your baking prowess!

Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if your first attempt isn’t perfect. With time and experience, you’ll soon become a crostata-making expert. Happy baking!
