Rustic Plum Crostata With Lemon Thyme
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
-
In a medium bowl, toss together the plums, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme leaves, cornstarch, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Arrange the plum mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border.
-
Fold the edges of the dough over the plum mixture, pleating as necessary. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the plums are tender.
-
Allow the crostata to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
