For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough. If your dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Feel free to experiment with different jams and preserves to create your own unique Crostata Della Bisnonna. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent dessert.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch pie plate or tart pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
03
StepBeat in the egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want the dough to come together into a ball without being tough. (5 minutes)
05
StepDivide the dough into two portions, one slightly larger than the other. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to chill and become easier to handle. (30 minutes)
06
StepOn a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger disc of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Gently transfer the dough to the prepared pie plate or tart pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough from the edges. (10 minutes)
07
StepPour the apricot preserves into the prepared crust and spread evenly. (2 minutes)
08
StepRoll out the remaining disc of dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into strips using a knife or pastry wheel. Arrange the strips over the apricot preserves in a lattice pattern, weaving them together. Trim the edges of the strips and press them gently into the edge of the crust. (15 minutes)
09
StepBake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. (25 minutes)
10
StepLet the tart cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set and the flavors to meld together. (60 minutes)
