Tips Section

Use 8-inch pie dish and use homemade jam if possible. Any type of jam can be used, but I find raspberry, blueberry, apricot, peach or a wild fruit mixture work the best. With any extra dough, make squares and place 1 teaspoon of jam in the middle, fold it over, pinch the sides closed and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Ingredients

Crosata Dough
 1 ¾ cups Flour
 ½ cup Sugar
 1 tsp Baking powder
 1 Egg
 1 Egg yolk
 ½ cup Butter softened
 2 tbsp Butter softened (In addition)
Topping
 ¾ cup Jam

Directions

1

In a large bowl, gently whisk together flour, sugar, and baking powder, create a well in the middle and add slightly beaten egg and yolk and softened butter cut into pieces.

2

Mix together

3

At this point turn mixture onto a slightly floured surface and work the mixture to form a soft dough. If dough is very dry then add an extra tablespoon of soft butter.

4

Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

5

Remove from fridge and knead the dough a couple of times to soften it up again on a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/8" thickness.

6

Transfer to an ungreased pie plate.

7

Trim the dish of any extra dough.

8

Fill the pastry shell with the jam.

9

Then with the extra dough make strips to create a lattice finish.

10

Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until golden
