Instructions:
-
Begin by creating the tantalizing peach filling. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of peeled and sliced peaches with 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a hint of ground cloves. Ensure that the cornstarch is fully incorporated, leaving no visible traces.
-
Now, let’s craft the foundation of our tart. In the bowl of an electric mixer, harmonize 1 cup of cake flour, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Introduce 1/2 cup of butter into this flour symphony. Engage the mixer with the dough paddle at the lowest speed, allowing the ingredients to dance together until a texture resembling coarse cornmeal emerges.
-
For the final flourish in the dough’s creation, combine 4 tablespoons of vanilla with a touch of ice water. Sprinkle this enchanting mixture over the dough and continue the mixer’s gentle dance on the lowest speed until the dough coalesces into a rough ball, gracefully pulling away from the sides of the bowl. This mesmerizing transformation takes approximately 3-4 minutes.
-
Now, transfer this dough ball onto a well-floured board. With a gentle touch, knead the dough until it attains a smooth texture, a process that typically takes 2-3 minutes. Form the dough into a disk, embracing it with a protective wrap of plastic, and allow it to luxuriate in the refrigerator until it reaches a state of blissful coldness – a journey of at least 30 minutes.
-
As the dough chills, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Approximately half an hour before your dough emerges for its grand debut, gracefully retrieve it from the refrigerator.
-
On a generously floured board, roll out the dough into a circle, achieving a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Alternatively, for a more petite indulgence, consider a rectangular shape to create 8 smaller tarts. With finesse, transfer the rolled-out dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, setting the stage for the grand performance.
-
Now, the pièce de résistance – the placement of the peach filling. Ensure a seamless amalgamation by folding up the edges of the dough and artfully pinching the joints together, encapsulating the vibrant peach filling within its golden embrace.
-
The oven beckons at 375 degrees – the initial act of baking commences. After 10 minutes of this crescendo, lower the temperature to 350 degrees and continue the symphony for another 35-40 minutes. Witness the transformation as the crust evolves into a golden masterpiece, a testament to the alchemy occurring within.
-
With bated breath, extract your Campanile Rustic Fresh Peach Tart from the oven, allowing the intoxicating aroma to fill your kitchen. Let it cool, if you can resist the temptation, before slicing into this culinary creation that beckons to be savored.
-
As you revel in each delightful bite, consider the harmonious collaboration of flavors and textures – the buttery crust embracing the succulent peach filling. A dessert born of simplicity, elevated to sophistication, leaving an indelible mark on your palate.
In the immortal words of Campanile and the LA Times, let this recipe be a culinary ode to the art of dessert-making, a symphony of flavors that transcends the ordinary and lingers in the realms of extraordinary indulgence.
