Crostata

For 1 crostata:

- 125g unsalted butter
- 250g flour
- 80g sugar (white or brown)
- 2 egg yolks
- jam of choice

1. Mix room temperature butter and sugar into a cream.
2. Add the yolks to butter and mix evenly again.
3. Sift the flour and add all at once into the butter mixture.
4. Work with hands, mix the flour and butter into a neat dough.
5. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
6. Heat the oven to 180C, grease the baking tray with butter. Sprinkle a tb spoon of flour in the tray and shake the flour around to coat the tray. Discard excess flour at the end.
7. Cut 2/3 of dough and roll out thin enough to cover the whole base of the baking tray. Spoon over the jam of your choice (here I used figs jam).
8. Using the remaining 1/3 of dough, roll to long strips and lay them across the crostata. First make the outer ring then the central diameters before secondary lines.
9. Bake at 180C for approximately 30min till the dough looks slightly golden. Cool before serving!
