Preparation method
Preparing the shortcrust pastry
In a large bowl, sift 300 g of white wheat flour 000 and add 1 pinch of salt (2 g). Incorporate 100 g of the cold butter cut into cubes and rub quickly with your fingertips until you get a sandy texture.
Add 1 whole egg and 2 tablespoons of very cold water. Knead briefly, just until the dough comes together into a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preparing the pear and walnut filling
Wash 1 kg of pears, peel and core them, then cut into medium cubes.
Chef's tip
For an even deeper, traditional aroma, you can toast the walnuts in a pan before adding them to the pears, releasing their aromatic essential oils.
The semolina sprinkled over the dough base is the home cook's secret to keeping the bottom crust crisp, preventing the pear juice from making the crust soggy.
