Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups (7.5 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Zest of 1 lemon
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon Marsala
2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano (optional)
8 medium ripe but firm yellow peaches, cut into 8 wedges each
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano (optional)

Steps:

  • For the pastry: In a large bowl or in the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and lemon zest. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly by either pulsing it in the processor or using a pastry blender, a couple of knives, or your fingertips. If using a food processor, be sure not to overmix, which will cause the butter to soften too much. Add the heavy cream, Marsala, and the cheese, if you're using it. Pulse briefly just until moist clumps form or stir with a fork until just combined. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, shape them into discs, wrap well in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to a day.
  • For the filling: Combine the peaches, sugar, butter, and cornstarch in a large bowl; set aside.
  • To bake the crostatas: Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and flour a work surface well. Shape the tarts by rolling each dough disc into a circle 7 inches across and between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick (they don't have to be perfectly round).
  • Top the dough rounds with the peaches, leaving a 1-inch border of dough empty. If using the pecorino, sprinkle about 1/2 tablespoon over each crostata. Fold the edges of the rounds up and over the peaches, pleating loosely. Carefully transfer the tarts to the parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake the crostatas until the dough turns a deep golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool slightly and serve with additional grated pecorino, if you like.

I made these crostatas for a potluck, and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. The crust was perfectly crispy and the peach filling was sweet and gooey. I would highly recommend this recipe.

These crostatas were amazing! I used fresh peaches from the farmers market, and they were so flavorful. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was perfectly sweet and juicy. I will definitely be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crostatas turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of peaches, but I loved these crostatas! The crust was so flaky and the filling was perfectly sweet and tart. I would definitely make these again, even with store bought peaches.

These crostatas were so easy to make! I used store-bought pie crust, and the whole thing came together in less than an hour. The peaches were perfectly ripe and juicy, and the crust was flaky and buttery. Yum!

These individual peach crostatas were a hit! The flaky crust and juicy peach filling were perfect together. I used fresh peaches from my backyard, and they were so flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
