Instructions

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Divide Rough Puff Pastry Dough in half. Roll half of dough into a 12-inch square (about ⅛ inch thick). (Wrap remaining dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.) Transfer to one prepared pan. Mark a 1-inch border from edges. Evenly dock surface of dough inside perimeter with a fork. Refrigerate until dough is firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Position oven rack in bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a medium bowl, stir together Crescenza-Stracchino, thyme leaves, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined. Using an offset spatula, spread half of cheese mixture (113 grams) onto dough within border. Top with ½ cup (56 grams) provolone, and top with half of artichokes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water. Brush onto border of dough. Sprinkle border with half of salt and half of pepper.
  • Repeat procedure with remaining dough, remaining cheese mixture, remaining provolone, remaining artichoke hearts, egg wash, remaining salt, and remaining pepper.
  • Bake, one pan at a time, until pastry is puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with salt, pepper, and thyme, if desired. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes; serve warm.

Notes

Pro Tip: Tarts can be assembled and refrigerated up to 2 hours before baking. If you don’t want to make 2 tarts, tightly wrap the remaining portion of Rough Puff Pastry Dough in plastic wrap and freeze it for up to 1 month. Let it thaw completely in the refrigerator before using it.
