Ingredients
Ingredients
500g Caputo Gluten-Free Flour
200g (1 Cup) Sugar
250g (1 1/8 Cup) Cold Unsalted Butter
2 Large Eggs
1 Egg Yolk
10g (1 2/3 Teaspoon) Baking Soda
1g (1/6 Teaspoon) Salt
2.5g (½ Teaspoon) Vanilla Bean Paste or Extract
26.5 oz Nutella
Instructions
Short Crust Pastry Dough
- In a KitchenAid mixer or food processor, mix Caputo Gluten-Free Flour, butter, and sugar until crumbly and combined.
- Add the baking soda and vanilla, then mix for 30 seconds.
- With the mixer on, gradually add in the eggs and egg yolks until a smooth, homogeneous dough ball forms.
- Remove the dough from the mixer, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Baking the Crostata
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and set the oven rack to its lowest position.
- Lightly coat a sheet of parchment paper with rice flour. Place the dough on the center, cover it with another sheet of parchment, and roll it out to ⅛–¼ inch thickness.
- Spray a fluted tart or pie pan with non-stick spray and gently place the dough inside. Reserve leftover dough to cut out decorative lattice.
- Press the dough evenly into the pan and use a fork to poke holes along the bottom to prevent puffing during baking.
- No need to par-bake! Simply pour the Nutella into the crust, then carefully place the decorative lattice on top.
- Arrange the tart on a sheet pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the crostata to cool completely before slicing and serving.
