How to cook Peach and Blackberry Crostata
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter (or your hands), cut the cold butter into the flour until it resembles course, pea sized crumbs. Add 1/4 cup ice cold water (no ice) and gently combine using a fork until the flour is moistened. If it still looks dry, add 1-2 more tablespoons of ice water. Gently knead the dough with your hands a few times in the bowl until it comes together and then form it into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- While the dough is chilling, prepare the fruit filling.
- Peel and cut the peaches into wedges and then combine with the fresh blackberries in a bowl. Gently toss with sugar and vanilla extract and let this sit until the dough is ready to roll out.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll your dough out into a 12-inch circle and then transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add the fruit filling (not the juices) to the middle, leaving a 2-3 inch border to fold over. Gently fold the border of the dough over the fruit, overlapping the dough.
- Brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let the crostata sit for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack until ready to serve. Serve warm or at room temperature.
