Method

  1. Mix warm milk3, yeast, and 8 g sugar, let sit for 10 minutes until slightly foamy.

  2. Add 50 g flour, ¼ of a beaten egg, salt, and 10 g softened butter4; knead into a smooth dough for 5 minutes.

  3. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes until doubled.

  4. Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Halve plums7 and remove pits.

  5. Roll out dough into a pie pan, then arrange plums7 cut-side up on top.

  6. Rub 20 g flour, 6 g sugar, 8 g cold butter4, and cinnamon between fingers into a crumble; sprinkle over pie.

  7. Bake 28–32 minutes until golden and a wooden skewer comes out dry.

Tips

Why it works
Dissolve the yeast in warm milk so it activates within 10 minutes. Cold slows the fermentation, and hot kills the yeast.
Substitutions
Replace the plums with pitted cherries or apricots, but reduce the amount to 60 g, since they are juicier and release more liquid.
Common mistakes
Dough didn't rise? If the skewer comes out damp after baking, there was too little yeast or the oven was colder than 180 °C.
Storing and reheating
Keep for 2 days in the fridge and reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Don't freeze, the crumb will turn soft.
Serve with
Serve with unsweetened tea or yogurt to soften the sweetness of the cinnamon and plums.
