Description

Homemade baked goods for tea. There are many variations of crostata. Its main feature is that you don't need to worry about decorating it or making it perfectly shaped. The pie is delicious and easy to prepare. The crostata dough should be rolled out thinly, so any filling comes through very well. Serve with tea or coffee.
