Crostata With Jam Crostata Di Marmellata Recipes

CROSTATA DI MARMELLATA (SHORT PASTRY JAM TART)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix all the crust ingredients.
• It isn't needed to chill the dough, but it is very soft so, you have to press it with finger. Use 2/3 of it and press in a rectangular tart pan, buttered.
• Fill it with jam.
• Add some flour to the remaining dough, roll out on lightly floured surface (or between two non stick foils) and cut into several strips.
• Put the pastry streeps on the jam with fantasy and bake for 30-40 minutes to 180° Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Make a pastry ribbon and bake it separately.

CROSTATA WITH STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Mix the flour, sugar, and lemon peel, in a food processor. Next add the cubed butter, in increments. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal, then add the salt. Pulse in the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until moist clumps form. Gather the dough into a ball; flatten into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface to an 11-inch round. Transfer the dough onto a heavy baking sheet that has been lined with a silicon pad or parchment paper. Stir the lemon juice into the preserves and spread the preserves on top of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the dough border over the filling to form an 8-inch round, pleating loosely and pinching to seal any cracks in the dough.
• Bake the crostata until the crust is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool. Sprinkle with the almonds and dust with the powdered sugar, if you wish. Slide a metal spatula under the crust to free the crostata from the baking sheet and serve.

CROSTATA CON MARMELLATA DI FRUTTA

Steps:

• In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on high until well combined. Mix in the egg, yolk, vanilla and lemon zest, then add the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and the baking powder. Mix at medium speed just until the mixture begins to clump. Press the dough into a ball by hand, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow to warm slightly. Lightly butter the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Press of the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan, patting it until smooth and firm. Fill the crust with jam, spreading it evenly.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining dough into a thin disk about 9 inches in diameter. Cut into narrow strips and weave into a lattice pattern on top of the pie.
• Bake until the pastry is light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes; watch carefully to be sure the crust doesn't darken, which can happen suddenly. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving. Serve at room temperature.
