How to make
-
STEP 1
Heat oven to 375°F.
-
STEP 2
Combine flour and brown sugar in bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in hazelnuts; set aside.
-
STEP 3
Roll out puff pastry sheet on lightly floured surface into 10-inch square. Cut into 4 equal (5-inch) squares with sharp knife. Place squares onto large ungreased baking sheet. Brush edges lightly with water. Fold in 3/4 inch of dough on 2 opposite sides of each square; press down firmly. Refrigerate.
-
STEP 4
Combine pears, lemon juice and sugar in bowl.
-
STEP 5
Layer pear slices down center of puff pastry rectangles, keeping pears inside folded edges. Sprinkle each crostata with about 3 tablespoons crumb mixture. Bake 25-27 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Cool on cooling rack. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream, if desired.
Tip #1
- The crostatas can be baked one day ahead and stored loosely covered. Reheat in 350°F. oven for 15 minutes just before serving.
Tip #2
- Puff pastry sheets can be found in the freezer section of the supermarket. Thaw according to package directions. Work with 1 pastry sheet at a time; keep remaining sheets refrigerated. Gently unfold pastry sheets to avoid tearing folded area. Gently roll out pastry sheet with rolling pin on lightly floured surface to even out creases.
