For the Crostata
Method
Instructions
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Prepare the Fruit Filling

Assemble the Crostata
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the fruit mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as necessary.

Egg Wash
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the folded edges of the crostata.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
