Baking

This classic tart, essentially a frangipane filling enclosed between two layers of puff pastry, is named for the French town in which it was created. We recommend using an insulated baking sheet instead of a regular baking sheet to prevent the bottom of the pastry from getting too browned during baking.

If you can’t find blood oranges, use regular ones.

Serve with créme fraîche or whipped cream.

This dough can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before using. Allow guests to fill their own tarts at the table.

If your strawberries are sweet, you won’t need as much sugar—use an amount at the lower end of our range in step 5.
