Linz tart - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of nut in the Linz tart?

Yes, you can substitute the nuts! Walnuts, pecans, or even hazelnuts would work well. Just make sure to use the same weight as the original recipe.

What kind of jam is best for a Linz tart?

Traditionally, raspberry jam is used, but you can experiment with other flavors like apricot, strawberry, or even black currant. Choose a high-quality jam for the best flavor.

How do I prevent the crust from getting soggy?

Make sure the crust is properly chilled before baking. Also, avoid using too much jam, as this can make the crust soggy. You can also blind-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the jam to seal it.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can! The dough can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Or, it can be frozen for up to a month. Thaw it completely in the refrigerator before using.

How do I store leftover Linz tart?

Store leftover Linz tart in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. The refrigerator will keep it fresher for longer, especially if your kitchen is warm.

Can I freeze a baked Linz tart?

Yes, you can freeze the baked tart. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Note that the texture of the jam might change slightly after freezing.
