Crostata di farina di farro e marmellata di visciole di Cantiano

Perfect for the Fontana Gusto 80, in its sweetest form: Spelt-sour cherry tart, good, beautiful, and healthy!

Ingredients for 8 servings: 

700 g Prometeo spelt flour 
300 g Molino Paolo Mariani base flour 
100 g cane sugar 
300 g caster sugar 
300 g butter 
300 g lard 
6/7 eggs 
1 vanillin 
1 packet of chemical yeast 
Lemon/orange zest 
1 pinch of salt 
1 teaspoon of Cointreau
400 g (Cantiano) sour cherry jam

Preparation:

Place the flours in the bowl of the mixer, add butter and lard and switch on the paddle attachment at level 1 until a grainy consistency is reached. Add the remaining ingredients and form the dough. Cover the dough with a sheet of baking paper and let it rest in the fridge for 15 minutes. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, butter a non-stick cake pan with a diameter of 30 cm and height of 3 cm. Whisk the sour cherry jam and dilute with a little water. Pour the jam into the lined cake pan and spread with a spoon.
Decorate the tart with the remaining dough by alternately forming small bigoli or by rolling out the remaining dough and cutting it into festive strips with a pastry wheel.
Our tart is now ready to serve.
