Crust: Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, lemon zest, salt and chopped rosemary in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
-
Pulse a few times to mix.
-
Add the cold, chopped butter and pulse about 10 -12 times until the butter is cut into the flour mixture and is pea size.
-
Pour in the ice water and pulse a few more times until a ball begins to form, being careful not to overmix. The dough should not be completely blended, it will come together on the counter.
-
Scrape dough onto counter and form into a flat disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight. (Dough can also be frozen for several weeks. Defrost in refrigerator before proceeding.)
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and remove dough from the refrigerator.
-
Roll out dough between lightly floured pieces of wax paper, carefully turning and lightly flouring to prevent sticking. Roll into a 16 inch circle, don't worry if the edges are a little craggy.
-
Move the pastry round onto a parchment lined sheet tray.
-
Filling: Whisk together the mascarpone, lemon juice, vanilla, yolk and heavy cream in a medium bowl.
-
Crostata: Pour mascarpone filling into the center of the pastry round in roughly a 10 inch circle, leaving about 3 inches of dough exposed on the edge.
-
Sprinkle the grapes over the mascarpone mixture and scatter rosemary over the grapes.
-
Fold and pleat the border over the filling, leaving about 6 inches in the center exposed.
-
Place the unbaked crostata into the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill.
-
Remove and brush the edges with cream and sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the edges.
-
Bake for about 50 mins or until golden brown and filling is set. If the edges are getting too dark before the filling is set, cover loosely with foil.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheet tray for 15 minutes before carefully removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
-
Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired and serve. Crostata can be served warm or room temperature.
