Chicken Crostata 🥧

Good morning friends of the community !!!


Today I bring you a recipe, very special for me, since my grandmother I teach it to me, I talk about a version of crostata, a traditional dessert of Italian gastronomy, which is usually filled with fruits and jams, however, this time, I will do it with a delicious chicken filling

the ingredients to use are the following:

For the dough:

• 250 gr of wheat flour.

• 100 gr of butter.

• 2 eggs.

• 20 gr of sugar.

• A pinch of salt.

• Two tablespoons of water.

For the filling:

• Crumbled stewed chicken.

• 2 boiled eggs, chopped on wheels.

• Cheese Grated.

Preparation:

First in a container it is integrated with the hands, the butter and the flour, forming lumps, we add the eggs, the sugar, the pinch of salt and the two tablespoons of water, until it forms a homogeneous mass, then it is taken to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.


Once that time has elapsed, divide the mass into two portions, one for the base and one for decoration. The first portion is spread with the help of a rolling pin on the kitchen table, previously floured, calculating the diameter of the pie plate.


Then, with the help of the rolling pin, we roll the dough and place it in the pie pan, We cut the surpluses and with a fork we make holes so that the dough does not grow.


Now, we proceed to fill it, with the chicken stew, the eggs and the cheese.


With the rest of the dough, it is extended and cut strips of approximately 3cm, then they are intertwined from top to bottom and from bottom to top, we cut the surpluses and put a border with the rest of the dough.


Finally we take to the oven at 180C for 35 minutes or until golden.


This is the result:
