Blood Orange Shaker Tart

February 7, 2021 by Sophie 1 Comment

Today I am sharing this lovely blood orange shaker tart with y’all.

Shaker pies or tarts are made with the whole citrus fruit, macerated with sugar over several hours or even days in order to tenderize the rind so it’s not too bitter. The longer it sits, the better.

It tastes just like marmalade and is so flavorful. Blood oranges are so beautiful and provide a slightly different flavor than standard navels. You’ll see several blood orange recipes on this blog (Upside Down Cake, Tea Cake, Ricotta Cookies, and an Olive Oil Cake).

If you know anything about me by now, you’ll know that I am a sourdough fiend and I am always looking for more ways to incorporate it in my bakes. This tart features a flaky tart dough made with sourdough discard and buckwheat flour for extra flavor. This dough would also be great for pies or galettes.

Winter can feel so gloomy, especially living somewhere with real seasons. This is also the first year that I haven’t been able to go home to California to see my family, so I do love using all the winter citrus I can to help feel a little more at home.

Blood Orange Shaker Tart with Sourdough Crust

Yield: 1 9 inch tart

This tart features a spin on the classic lemon shaker tart with blood oranges! A flaky tart crust made with sourdough starter gives this such an amazing flavor.

You'll Need...

  • Sourdough Pie Crust: (Makes 2)
  • 200 grams all-purpose flour
  • 100 grams buckwheat flour*
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 227 grams butter, cold and cubed
  • 200 grams sourdough starter, cold
  • 43 grams apple cider vinegar
  • 60 grams ice water (may need more or less)
  • Citrus Filling:
  • 1 medium blood orange
  • 1 lemon
  • 350 grams sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 medium blood orange, sliced paper thin (for topping)

Directions

  1. Crust: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Combine the water and vinegar in a measuring cup or other bowl. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until it resembles pea sized lumps. Add the sourdough starter and drizzle over the wet mixture by the tablespoon, and use a spatula to stir together until a dough forms. If you need to add more liquid, add a little at a time, but try not to add too much. Use your hands to squeeze it together into a ball. Cut in half, and wrap in plastic and chill for at least an hour or overnight. This can also be left to slightly ferment over a few days in the fridge to deepen the flavor.
  2. Macerate the fruit: Slice the orange and lemon in half and remove any seeds. Grate with a box grater, or dice up with a knife into very fine pieces. Combine with the sugar, and allow to macerate for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight. Be sure to stir the mixture every once in a while to break up the juices.
  3. Par-bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out the crust into a circle about 1/8th inch thick. Mold your 9 inch tart pan with the dough and stash in the freezer to firm up while the oven preheats. Line the tart with parchment and add baking beans or ceramic weights. Bake for 20 minutes, remove the weights and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes until the bottom is slightly more set. You will most likely need to use your hand to press the bottom back down if it puffs up. Allow to cool while you finish the filling.
  4. Filling: Whisk together the eggs and salt in a small bowl until very well homogenized. Whisk the eggs into the citrus/sugar mixture until fully incorporated. Pour into your pre-baked tart shell right up to the top (you may or may not have a little extra filling so don't use all of it if it won't fit). Top with your thinly sliced oranges.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20 minutes, and then carefully sprinkle a little bit of sugar over the blood orange slices. Continue to bake until it is set, and puffs up slightly, another 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool before transferring to the fridge. It slices best right from the fridge.

I made Nev a shaker tart when we first learned that he got into the University of Pittsburgh for his phD so it has come to feel like an extra special bake.

We have been getting a bunch of snow here in Pittsburgh over the last couple of weeks, so a bright citrus tart felt like the antidote to help warm us up.

FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🀍 Chocolate orange rye sourdou FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🀍 Chocolate orange rye sourdough all painted up. 🌼🍫🍊 I used some fresh milled rye flour in this loaf, along with extra dark cocoa powder, fresh orange zest, honey and chocolate chunks. 🀀

I’m not the best at painting, but I’ve been wanting to try something like this since I saw @sleepingmakesmehungry beautiful floral loaves a while back, and @lovealldesignco more recently. 🎨🌸🀍

I used food dye gel mixed with a little water as the paint, scored with my @wiremonkeyshop Poco lame & baked in my @challengerbreadware pan as always. 🌾🍫🍞

I ❀️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to sha I ❀️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to share this small batch marmalade recipe I make each year. The perfect accompaniment to toast with salted butter. Toast is truly one of my favorite foods, and I love making jams & preserves to enjoy with fresh bread. 🍊🧈🍞 Also, this beautiful wood serving board is by my very talented brother @jeffremer! 🀍

Small Batch Blood Orange Marmalade: (Makes 1 pint)

300g blood oranges (2-3 oranges)
1/2 lemon
300g water
250g granulated sugar

Peel the oranges and 1/2 lemon, and slice the rind into thin strips and pieces. Remove the seeds from the fruit, slice into smaller chunks and set aside.

Combine the peels and water in a stainless steel pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the peels are tender. You may need to add more water as necessary.

Add the sugar and the fruit to the pot and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 6-8 minutes until the syrup thickens. 

Transfer to a pint jar and allow to cool uncovered before covering and storing in the fridge.

Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to d Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to do a single slash loaf. I’m always tempted to score a more complex design, but I tend to keep it simple with slashing inclusion loaves. 🌾🍞

This was a delicious cranberry & roasted chestnut bread I made with some beautiful flours from @bartonspringsmill in atx. 🀍🌾 Used their purple straw wheat & rouge de Bordeaux. Slathered a slice in some softened butter with flaky sea salt for a go-to snack. Also had to flag the two quick πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬› cameos!
