FRUIT CROSTATA RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a large bowl, mix together ¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, and salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter, work it into the flour until only pea-sized pieces remain. Continue working with your hands until the dough is shaggy.
• Add the water, starting with 3 tablespoons, and mix until the dough is moist enough to hold together. Add more water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Form the dough into a disc and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• While the dough is resting, make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries, cherries, peaches, sugar, and remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss to coat the fruit.
• Assemble the crostata: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a 12-inch (30 cm) wide circle, about ? inch (3 mm) thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
• Spoon the fruit filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the edges. Fold the edges of the crust up and over the filling to create a rustic look. Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake for 45–50 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
• Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Pastry:.
• Place flour, sugar, and salt in food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Add butter and toss quickly with your fingers to coat each cube of butter with the flour. Pulse 12-15 times till butter is size of peas.
• With motor running, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Pulse a few more times to combine, but stop just before the dough comes together.
• Turn dough out onto a well floured board, roll into a ball, cut in half, and form into 2 flat disks. Wrap disks in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour in fridge.
• If you want only one crostata, freeze the second one.
• Preheat the oven to 400*F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Roll pastry into an 11" circle on a lightly floured work surface. Move it to the sheet pan.
• Filling:.
• Cut peaches and plums in wedges, place in bowl with blueberries. Toss with 1 tbls. of the flour, 1 tbls. of the sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Place the mixed fruit on the dough circle, leaving a 1 1/2" border.
• Combine the 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt in food processor and add the butter. Pulse until mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your fingers until it starts to hold together. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit. Gently fold the border of the pastry over the fruit, pleating it to make an edge.
• Bake the crostata for 20-25 minutes, until crust is golden and fruit is tender. Let the crostata cool for about 5 minutes. Use 2 large spatulas to move it to a wire rack.
