Berry Crostatas

These crostatas may seem hard to make but they are so simple and super delicious! These are my new favorite dessert because they are so easy but a always a crowd pleaser. Make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate until you are ready to make them. Its the perfect summer dessert.

Berry Crostatas

1/2 cup of sugar, plus more for sprinkling

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

2 sticks of cold butter, cut into small pieces

4 Tbsp. cold ice water

1-1 1/2 cups of fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)

1 large egg yoke, lightly beaten with 1 Tbsp. of milk

1. To make the dough, combine the sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl and beat together just until incorporated. Add the pieces of cold butter and beat on low speed until the butter is the size of peas and the rest is like crumbs. Add the ice water 1 Tbsp. at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or more.

2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and form eat part into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into 1/4 inch rounds. Move the 4 rounds to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add about 1/4 cup of berries to each round and leave 1 1/2 inch of the dough on the sides. Fold the dough over the berries and press firmly to seal. Generously sprinkle the crostatas with sugar and then evenly brush the edges with the egg wash.

3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes and then serve.
