Notes

For serving, slice the crostata into wedges and serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of Greek yogurt, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of honey. Garnish with mint leaves or powdered sugar for a colorful presentation. Experiment with different fruits and consider adding maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend.
