30 Minute Blueberry Crostata

July 14, 2014 by Brett Youmans 17 Comments

30 Minute Blueberry Crostata | MisterMartha.com Well, is it a crostata or a galette?  I’ve been wondering about that lately and as it turns out they are one and the same.  One Italian, the other French.  Both delicious.  Crostatas and galettes are free-form and rustic and can be sweet or savory.  Think of them as the free-spirited siblings of a tart or torte.

I love the simplicity of mixing a few things together in a bowl, adding them to the center of a rolled out round of dough, and crimping the edges.  Into the oven and done.  Perfection in about 30 minutes!

It’s blueberry time here at Kraemer House and if you missed the Blueberry Butter Cake with Pecan Streusel Topping, you have to check it out.  It’s OMG good!

Here’s all you need for 30 Minute Blueberry Crostata.  By the way, I use turbinado sugar in the recipe.  Turbinado is golden-colored raw cane sugar with large sparkling crystals and a rich aroma.  Since it’s derived from the initial pressing of sugar cane, more of the natural molasses remains in the crystals.  In this recipe, it adds a wonderful crunch to the crust but if you only have granulated white sugar, don’t fret.  It’ll turn out just as perfect.

Unroll the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Mix together the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and zest, and corn starch and place in center of dough.  Fold and crimp the edges, dot blueberries and brush edges with butter, then sprinkle with sugar.  Bake for about 20 minutes.  That’s it!

    Love blueberries. This is a wonderful recipe and it is even delicious if you skip the sugar. I did sprinkle some on the crust to make it look pretty but so delicious even without the sugar !! I hope Pillsbury invites you to the celebration in Tenn. you have earned an invitation with all your creative ideas. Love reading your blog !!

    I made this tonight and it was wonderful. The blueberries were just the perfect amount of sweet! I did have some juice leak out into the oven–next time I’ll use my rimmed pan. Thanks for a great recipe.

    It’s hard to find well-informed people for this topic, however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about!
    Thanks

    Made the Blueberry Crostata last night and was so pleased I used the recipe again today to make one for a friend, and a Montana “Huckleberry” Crostata for my family – ALL THREE CROSTATAS WERE FANTASTIC!!!! Thank you for the recipe. It is so simple, and I honestly can’t tell much difference between my “homemade” (30min to make-it crust) and the instant roll-out-of-the-box – my family NEVER noticed HAHA. Lemons vary in size and liquid content so drastically, that I just reduced the lemon zest and liquid on the two crostatas made today as it was overwhelming on the first one. Thanks again for a “KEEPER RECIPE.”

    We ARE eating this for dinner tonight!
    My favorite frozen pie crust is Trader Joe’s … it’s as good as homemade and you can make crostadas with no muss or fuss at all.

    I wondered – if you didn’t have any lemons, would it be OK to leave the lemon juice and lemon zest out?

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
