Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Use high-quality flour for the best results.
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt Kosher salt can be a great substitute.
  • 8 Tbsp Cold Butter Ensure it’s very cold for perfect texture.
  • 3-4 Tbsp Ice Water Add just enough to make the dough cohesive.
For the Filling
  • 8 oz Mascarpone Cheese Can be replaced with ricotta for a lighter option.
  • 4 cups Heirloom Tomatoes Cherry or Roma tomatoes work well too.
  • 1 Tbsp Sumac Can use lemon zest for brightness.
  • to taste Salt & Pepper Freshly cracked black pepper brings out the flavors.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and sea salt. Cut in very cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 5 minutes.
  2. Gradually incorporate ice water, adding just enough for the dough to come together. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the dough chills.
  4. Roll out the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough onto a prepared baking sheet.
  5. Spread a thick layer of mascarpone cheese over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Arrange sliced heirloom tomatoes on top.
  6. Sprinkle with sumac, sea salt, and pepper. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create pleats.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
