Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Your favorite jam or preserves

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the olive oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add the milk while stirring the mixture. Continue mixing until the dough comes together.
  5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until smooth and pliable.
  6. Divide the dough into two portions – one slightly larger than the other.
  7. Roll out the larger portion of the dough to fit your tart pan or pie dish. Gently press it into the pan, ensuring the bottom and sides are evenly covered.
  8. Spoon your favorite jam or preserves onto the dough, spreading it evenly.
  9. Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips or shapes of your choice. Arrange the dough strips in a lattice pattern over the jam filling.
  10. Optional: Brush the dough strips with a beaten egg for a shiny golden crust.
  11. Bake the crostata in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.
  12. Once baked, remove the crostata from the oven and let it cool before slicing and serving.

Tips:

Here are a few tips to enhance your butter-free crostata baking experience:

  • For a healthier option, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Experiment with various fruit jams or preserves to create different flavor combinations.
  • If you prefer a sweeter taste, sprinkle a small amount of powdered sugar on top of the baked crostata.
  • Serve your crostata alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled if you’re feeding a larger crowd.

Enjoy your homemade butter-free crostata and savor the flavors of this lighter alternative. It’s the perfect dessert to satisfy your cravings, even without butter. Why not give it a try today?
