If you love fruit pies but you are short on time, we’ve got great news for you. You don’t even need a pie plate or a tart pan! Italians called them crostata, and the French say, galette. What they have in common is delicious pastry rolled out and folded over a juicy filling. You can do this directly on a sheet pan; they are quicker to make them a classic pie or tart which means you will be eating your tasty creation sooner! And you can even make savory versions. We also have vegan, vegetarian and a brilliant one featuring a sourdough crust – 18 in all.
