Water tart with berries

Jun 27, 2019
Crostata all’acqua con frutti di bosco

INGREDIENTS (for the water shortcrust pastry, recipe by Chiarapassion)

  • 180 g of flour
  • 60 g of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of yeast
  • a pinch of salt
  • 75 g of warm water
  • 45 ml of seed oil (for me organic corn oil, originally peanut oil or whatever you prefer)
  • aroma: lemon peel or vanilla (for me vanilla pod, seeds)

INGREDIENTS (for the top)

  • blueberries and currants
  • sugar or agave syrup or other sweetener
  • lemon juice (a few drops)

PROCEDURE

  • Prepare the water shortcrust pastry by placing all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mixing them. Add oil and water and knead until you obtain a smooth mixture. You do not have to let it rest like the classic shortcrust pastry. Roll it out in the greased mold or lined with baking paper.
  • Wash the fruit. Cook a portion with the chosen sweetener and a few drops of lemon for about 7/8 minutes, the time needed to reduce it to a puree.
  • Spread it in the shortcrust pastry shell and cook for about 25/30 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°, until golden.
  • Let it cool and decorate with fresh fruit.
