Crostata, the Italian word for tart or pie, is one of the most popular and loved sweet baked goods in Italy. It is prepared in almost infinite forms and varieties, with local / regional versions, and it is possible to find at least one type of crostata in every single bakery, patisserie, bar and café all over the country. But also the homemade version is very common: almost all families have their own recipe which is usually handed down from mother to daughter. And home-made crostata, simply filled with jam, is one of my favorite sweet baked goods and absolutely my preferred morning breakfast. When we have guests for few days, for sure they'll have a freshly baked crostata on the breakfast table.
