Crostata di pesche | Peach Crostata tart
Description
The Crostata di pesche combines a homemade pasta frolla dough scented with lemon zest and a generous amount of peach jam. The dough is rolled out to form a sturdy base, pierced with a fork to prevent bubbling, and filled evenly with jam. Strips of dough form a lattice top that browns nicely during baking. This creates a balanced treat where the buttery, crumbly pastry contrasts with the sticky, fruity interior.
Baked at 350°F for about 40 minutes, the tart cools on a rack before serving. Its size makes it suitable for sharing, and it pairs well with coffee or tea. The clear presentation highlights the glossy jam and the neat lattice structure.
The recipe includes resting the dough beforehand to develop the texture, and reusing excess dough for the lattice ensures no waste. Cooling on a rack is recommended before slicing to avoid breakage.
Ingredients
- 1 base pasta frolla (according to our website)
- 500 gr peach jam
Instructions
- Prepare the pasta frolla according to the basic recipe, flavoring it with the rind of 1 grated lemon and let it rest for at least an hour.
- After this time roll out the dough on a floured surface, bringing it to a thickness of 3/16 inches. Use it to coat the bottom and edges of a non-stick tart pie measuring 9 inches in diameter.
- Remove the excess shortcrust pastry with a rolling pin, mix it again with the other dough, rewind it in the food film and place it back in the fridge.
- With the prongs of a fork puncture the dough inside the mold.
- Fill the mold with jam, leveling to obtain a uniform layer.
- Roll out the remaining short pastry to a thickness of 3/16 inches and with a serrated wheel made of strips of ⅜ inches.
- Form a grid with strips of pastry, spaced out regularly.
- Preheat the oven at 350 F
- Cook the peach jam crostata in the oven for about 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool on a cake rack and serve.
