CROSTATA WITH PEAR & DARK CHOCOLATE
Ingredients: 
    • 200 gr wholewheat flour
    • 50 gr all purpose flour or Risciola 1
    • 100 gr butter
    • 100 gr brown sugar
    • 2 whole eggs
    • 3 tea spoons of yeast for cakes & desserts
    • For the filling:
    • 250 gr cow ricotta cheese
    • 1 table spoon bitter chocolate powder
    • 2 table spoon sugar
    • as much dark chocolate in pieces as you like
    • 90 gr of Pear Relish

Instructions:

 

Eggs & butter need to be cold from the fridge. Take them once you've taken all the other ingredients. 

1. Dice the butter in very small pieces

2. In a bowl, put butter and brown sugar together and with a wooden spoon, whisk it all together. 

3. Once the dough is homogeneous, we add the two flours and the yeast. 

We put together all the ingredients and we have a dough that is even drier than the previous one. 

4. We still use our bowl and inside it we make a hole and we break two whole eggs. 

5. With a fork, we we whip the eggs and we start kneading. 

After few minutes, we leave the fork on the side and we knead with our hands for 2-3 minutes.

Let's keep some flour close to us. We will use it to 'make our hands dirty' in case of need. 

6. Let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes in the fridge. Meanwhile, we can mix the ingredients for the filling.

Compose your crostata and cook in preheated oven for 20 minutes, 180 degrees. 

Buon appetito!
