Brush the outside of the edge with the egg wash and sprinkle with raw sugar crystals. Brush the edge with the egg wash and lift the edge and fold over the fruit or if you wish, you could lift the edge and pinch a vertical seam about 2 inches apart, as you fold the edge over the fruit. Arrange the fruit in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch edge all around. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator, but keep it on the parchment paper and baking sheet. I personally would discard it and start over. If the butter becomes too warm and disappears into the flour, it won’t yield a perfect crumbly crust. When the cold butter meets the high oven heat, it creates that flaky crust. Transfer the dough on the parchment onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until dough slightly firms up. Brandy is optional, but it does enhance that peach flavor.Īs the fruit macerates, roll out the dough in a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper and turn the dough occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the parchment. Toss in the sliced peaches with vanilla extract and brandy. Corn starch will help thicken the juices and make a sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and corn starch. Slice the peaches uniformly so they cook evenly. While the dough is chilling, prepare the fruit. You can also make this a day ahead and allow to soften a few minutes before rolling out. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least an hour. Dump the clumps on your work surface and form a flat, round disc. Tip: Cut the butter and place it back in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.Īdd the ice water and pulse until the dough forms moist clumps. Add the cold, cubed, unsalted butter and pulse a few times until the butter is pea-size. Let’s get to this delicious dessert! In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, polenta (corn meal), granulated sugar, orange zest and kosher salt. Fascinating! Can you tell I love history? According to Wikipedia, the first recorded recipe of a crostata, as used in modern times, was in a cookbook from 1465 titled Libro de Arte Coquinaria by Martino da Como. The French say the Galette evolved from the crepe, but I’ve read there’s evidence of crepes in ancient Rome. Considering the reach of the Roman Empire, many countries have recipes with origins from the Roman Empire. Italian Crostata is basically the same as the French Galette – a flat tart that’s free-form and you fold the dough edges up and over the filling, exposing the center. This Peach Crostata is filled with thin slices of ripe peaches that have macerated in their own juices with a little vanilla and peach brandy. These tarts are free-form and don’t require a pan or mold, making them very popular for sweet and savory fillings. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with dollops of spiced mascarpone.This beautiful stone fruit crostata is the perfect ending to any summertime outdoor meal. Remove the crostata from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. When all the cream has been added, increase to medium speed and whip until stiff peaks form. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the heavy cream. Meanwhile, combine the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and remaining spice mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a wire whisk. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is tender, about 30 minutes. Brush the crust with egg and dust with raw sugar. Gently fold the edges of the dough just up over the edge of the fruit, pleating it as you go around. Spoon the fruit mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the outside. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough to an 11-inch circle that is about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Add 1 teaspoon of the spice powder and toss to combine. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, remaining flour, and sugar toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind into a powder. Toast for 5 minutes, shaking the pan often to prevent burning. Place the peppercorns, allspice, and juniper berries in a dry sauté pan over medium heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove the dough and form it into a ball. This will take approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute. The ingredients will start to pull away from the sides of the processor and a ball of dough will begin to form. ![]() ![]() With the food processor running, add the water one tablespoon at a time. Blend for about 15 to 20 seconds, or until a coarse crumble forms. To make the dough, add 1 1/2 cups flour, the butter, and the salt to a food processor. ![]()
