Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar and baking powder, create a well in the middle, add the slightly beaten egg, yolk and the room temperature butter cut into pieces. Mix together, at this point turn mixture onto a slightly floured surface and work the mixture to form a soft dough (if dough is very dry then add an extra tablespoon of soft butter).
- Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the fridge and knead the dough a couple of times to soften it up again on a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/8" thickness.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C), grease and flour an 8 or 9 inch- (20 - 22 cm) pie dish.
- Transfer to the prepared pie plate, I used a 8" pie dish (20 cm). Trim the dish of any extra dough. Prick the dough with the tongs of a fork, then spread the pastry shell with the Nutella.
- With the extra dough make strips to create a lattice finish. Brush the top lightly with milk and bake in pre heated oven at 350° (180°) for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Let cool then slice. Enjoy!
Notes
- *I also make the dough using a food processor, whisk the ingredients together in the food processor cup, then add the egg, yolk and butter and pulse until almost combined, moved to a lightly floured surface and knead gently to completely combine. Wrap and refrigerate.
- With any extra dough, I made squares and I placed 1 teaspoon of jam in the middle, folded it over, pinched the sides closed and baked in the oven for about 20 minutes at 350° (180°)).
- The crostata dough can be made in advance and refrigerated, be sure to wrap tightly in plastic wrap. It will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. The dough can also be frozen. Wrap well in plastic place in a freezer bag and freeze. It will keep for up to 2 months in the freezer. Thaw the dough in the fridge.
- The pie can be kept at room temperature, covered. A cool area is best. It will keep for 2-3 days. Or if you wish it can be refrigerated for 4-5 days, cover it tightly in plastic wrap.
- You can either freeze the whole crostata or just the pie dough. Wrap the pie well in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag.
