Pastafrola

Breads, Flatbreads and Savory Pastries

Pastafrola, also called pasta frolla or pastaflora, is a type of sweet tart that originated in Italy and is common in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Egypt and Greece. It is a covered, jam-filled shortcrust pastry made mainly from flour, sugar and egg, with fillings such as quince cheese, dulce de batata, dulce de leche, guava or strawberry jam beneath a thin lattice top that displays the filling in diamond or square sections. It is usually baked in a circular shape, and most Greek versions, filled with sweet jam, are eaten as a morning dessert.
