The crostata is the most classic of desserts, a simple and genuine cake made with pasta frolla (shortcrust pastry) and jam. This peach crostata is simple and is made in a few steps: it takes 20 minutes of preparation and a 40-minute baking in the oven to taste all its disarming goodness!
The peach crostata tart is a classic cake, ideal for breakfast, for a snack or to accompany a tea.
Simple and genuine, it is achieved in a few simple steps. It starts from a base of excellent pasta frolla, which can also be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer; once spread and put into shape in the mold, it will only have to be filled with peach jam or other to taste.
The short pastry can be freely flavored according to your taste. Some examples? Lemon, vanilla or, to evoke Middle Eastern flavors, cardamom or tonka bean.
