KMF02 – Sfoglia Torta mold kit (shareable tart size) – by Cesare Murzilli x Pavoni Italia

Why you will love it

• Signature look: straight edges and a perfect internal cavity for filling (creams, fruits, ganaches, whipped cream, savory…).

• Super crispy puff pastry crust: the insert compresses just enough for regular rising and clean layers.

• Versatile: puff pastry, sweet/sandy dough, creative brioches or savory versions (pesto, candied vegetables, cheeses…).

• Productivity & consistency: identical results from one batch to another, ideal for shops, caterers, and hoteliers.

• Designed by pros: developed with Cesare Murzilli and manufactured by PAVONI Italia.

Kit contents

• 1 aluminum frame/band : 250 × 76 × 69 mm (H)

• 1 stainless steel square insert/tube : 250 × 60 × 60 mm

Frame + insert combo = perfect “U” geometry, ready to fill.

Technical specifications

• Materials: food-grade aluminum (frame), stainless steel (insert).

• Oven compatibility: up to 250 °C (workshop recommendation).

• Uses: puff pastry baking, pre-baking/drying doughs, cold assembly, pressing.

• Care: hand washing recommended (warm water + mild detergent); dry well. Avoid dishwasher to preserve aluminum.

• Made in: Italy.

Instructions (clean result in 6 steps)

1. Roll out your puff (or shortcrust) pastry and lightly grease the frame.

2. Line the inside of the frame with the dough, letting it extend 1–2 mm above.

3. Place the stainless steel insert in the center to form the cavity (the insert can be very lightly oiled).

4. Chill for 15–20 min (better corner hold).

5. Bake on a micro-perforated tray. For puff pastry, light weight on the insert = even rising.

6. Unmold while warm (glove), remove the insert, dry 3–5 min if needed, then fill.

Pro tip: spray a veil of cocoa butter or brush a light syrup to waterproof the walls before filling.

Recipe ideas

• Rectangular Saint-Honoré revisited (puff pastry base, diplomat cream, shiny mini cream puffs).

• Crunchy vanilla-caramel (pressed praline insert + namelaka + decorations).

• Savory version : lemon mascarpone cream, early vegetables, fresh herbs.

FAQ

Does the kit work without puff pastry?
Yes, it works very well with sweet/sandy dough, leavened dough, or puff brioche.

Should the dough be pricked?
Puff pastry: no (or very lightly). Sweet/sandy dough: yes, to limit blistering.

Can I use a release spray?
Yes, with a very thin veil on the insert and the frame.

Why two different heights (69 mm vs 60 mm)?
The frame (69 mm) provides structure and protects the rise; the insert (60 mm) creates the clean cavity with an ideal technical clearance.
