For the Crostata

Method

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fruit Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine the seasonal fruits, brown sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the fruits evenly. Set aside.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Egg Wash

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

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
