Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 4 tablespoons Ice water
- 200 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Orange marmalade
- 1 unit Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently just until the dough comes together.
Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled dough to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Dollop the orange marmalade over the cream cheese and gently swirl it with the back of a spoon or knife.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed to form a rustic crust.
In a small bowl, whisk the beaten egg with the optional milk to make the egg wash. Brush the edges of the crostata with the egg wash to ensure a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Allow the crostata to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
