NANCY SILVERTON'S MIXED BERRY CROSTATA



Nancy Silverton's Mixed Berry Crostata image

From Nancy Silverton of Los Angeles' Mozza. A combination of regular all-purpose and cake flours ensures a flaky structure and tender crumb. Clipped from the Orlando Sentinel, the tag line was, 'Master this tart, conquer the dessert world". So obviously it got my attention!

Categories     Tarts

Time 1h

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cake flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, cold, but into pieces
2 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups berries, mixed (fresh blackberries, blueberries, cut-up strawberries)
5 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon coarse sugar

Steps:

  • For crostata dough: Combine flours, sugar and salt in an electric mixer or food processor. Distribute the butter over the top; mix or pulse until the butter is thoroughly incorporated and the mixture resembles moist cornmeal.
  • Combine the ice water and vanilla; sprinkle over the top of the dough. Mix until the dough comes together and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl; flatten it into a disk. wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For crostata: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss together the berries, sugar and cornstarch in a medium bowl; stir gently until well coated. Set aside.
  • Roll the crostata dough out on a lightly floured surface to a roughly 16-inch diameter circle. Leave it a little thick; the added texture is better. Transfer the dough to a cookie sheet. Place the fruit mixture in the center. Distribute fruit in a low mound, leaving a 2-inch border.
  • Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit to form a 6-sided tart, with the fruit showing in the center. Fold one edge over, then fold the second edge over, pleating the dough as necessary and pressing firmly on the pleat.
  • Lightly brush the dough with a little water; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until the crust is brown and the fruit is soft and thickened, 30 to 35 minutes. Rotate the crostata halfway through baking for even coloring. Cool 10 minutes before cutting.

Categories     Berry     Dessert     Bake

Yield 6 about 1 9" crostata

Number Of Ingredients 9

1.25 c. all-purpose flour
0.25 c. sugar
0.13 tsp. salt
0.50 c. unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 c. raspberries
1 c. fresh blackberries
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. Turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Make the dough: Combine 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Form a well in center of the dry ingredients and place the butter and 1 egg in the well. Using your hands, mix the ingredients into a soft, pliable dough. Form it into a 4-inch disk and place it on lightly floured parchment paper. Lightly dust the dough with flour and roll it into a 10-inch circle. Place dough with parchment on a baking sheet, cover the dough with plastic wrap, and chill for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F. 2. Make the crostata: In a small bowl, mix remaining flour and sugar and set aside. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and evenly spread the flour and sugar mixture on the dough, leaving a 1-inch-wide border around the edge. Place berries on top of the mixture and sprinkle with lemon juice. Fold the 1-inch border over top of the berries to form a 9-inch crostata. 3. Bake the crostata: Lightly brush the top of the crostata dough with remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if desired. Bake on the middle rack of the oven -- about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and slide crostata with the parchment paper onto a wire rack. Cool for 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a mix of fresh berries. Fresh berries will have the best flavor and texture in your crostata.
  • If you don't have fresh berries, you can use frozen berries. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • If you want a sweeter crostata, you can add more sugar to the filling. Just be sure to taste the filling before adding more sugar, so that you don't make it too sweet.
  • If you want a more tart crostata, you can add a little bit of lemon juice or orange juice to the filling.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the crostata. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Bake the crostata for the amount of time specified in the recipe. If you bake it for too long, the crust will become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the crostata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

The Mixed Berry Crostata is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, this crostata is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give the Mixed Berry Crostata a try.
