Crostata (Italian Preserve Tart)
- 120 grams Cake flour
- 30 grams Almond flour
- 40 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams Margarine (or butter)
- 20 grams Egg
- 200 grams Your choice of jam or marmalade
- 20 grams Egg
- Put all the ingredients in a bowl, add the margarine and work the mixture with your hands until its texture resembles panko.
- Add the beaten egg and mix with a rubber spatula.
- When the dough has been roughly mixed, put it in a plastic bag, gather and press it together into one piece and let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- Cut open the plastic bag, place the dough on top of the bag, dust flour on the surface of the dough, cover with plastic wrap, then roll out to a thickness of 3 mm.
- Return the crust to the refrigerator for 30 minutes, leaving the plastic wrap on top.
- Remove the top layer of plastic wrap, place the tart pan on top of the crust and cut the crust slightly larger than the tart mold.
- Turn over the crust together with the plastic bag.
- With the plastic bag still covering the crust, line the tart mold with the dough.
- Roll a rolling pin over the top of the tart mold to neatly trim off the excess crust.
- Chill the leftover crust in the refrigerator.
- Fill the crust with as much jam as you like (adjust the amount of jam depending on its flavor and sweetness).
- Roll out the remaining crust and cut into 1-cm wide strips and place in a lattice over the jam.
- Fold the edges in, then place more crust along the edges, if there is any dough left over.
- Then brush the surface with the beaten egg.
- Bake in an oven preheated to180C for about 30 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 170C when the tart becomes golden brown.
- At the same time, place a sheet of aluminum foil on top to prevent it from burning and to bake it through well.
- The tart tends to be quite soft just out of the oven, so let it cool in the tart mold to prevent it from falling apart.
- Take it out of the mold and slice into portions once cooled down.
