Blueberry Crostata
Serves: 6
Crust:
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
6 tablespoons cold butter, diced
Ice water (about 2 tablespoons)

Filling:
3 cups fresh blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
Juice and zest of 1/2 a lemon
2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 egg, beaten
Sparkling sugar (optional)

To make the crust, place flour, salt and sugar in a food processor fitted with a steel blade; pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it is in small pieces and distributed throughout the flour. With the machine running, add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together in a ball. Turn out onto a floured surface and gently form into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour. Once it’s chilled, roll out the dough into a 10-inch circle and place back into the fridge for an additional 20 minutes. To prepare the filling, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, zest and cornstarch in a medium bowl; mix gently until berries are evenly coated and glossy.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pour filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2- to 3-inch border. Gently fold in the edges of the crust all along the circle. Brush crust with egg and sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if using. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until crust is golden and filling just begins to bubble. Serve warm or at room temperature.
