Directions
Make Pastry:
- Pulse the flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment until combined.
-Add the butter & pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (It's okay if there are a few large pieces of butter.)
-Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the ice water & pulse until dough is crumbly in texture but holds together when squeezed. If the mixture is dry, pulse in up to 2 more tablespoons of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Flatten into a disk and wrap completely in the plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Make Filling:
-In a bowl toss together the cherries, sugar and Cherry Shiso jam , making sure to coat all the cherries.
Make Frangipane:
- In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, sugar, and all-purpose flour.
-Add the butter, almond extract & egg; mix with a spatula until smooth.
Assemble:
-Preheat oven to 375°F.
-Unwrap the dough and place it between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll the dough into a 12-inch round about 1/8-inch thick. Slide the parchment and the dough onto a baking sheet and remove the top layer of parchment.
-Spread the frangipane over the rolled out dough
-Places the cherries on top of the frangipane leaving at least a 2-inch border of crust.
-Fold the crust over top of cherries. Brush the crust with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle with sugar around crust.
-Bake until the crust is golden, about 40 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving.
**We suggest serving with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream.**
*** The dough can be made up to two days ahead and refrigerated, or it can be frozen for up to two months. ***
