Method
Mix warm milk3, yeast, and 8 g sugar, let sit for 10 minutes until slightly foamy.
Add 50 g flour, ¼ of a beaten egg, salt, and 10 g softened butter4; knead into a smooth dough for 5 minutes.
Cover and let rise for 45 minutes until doubled.
Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Halve plums7 and remove pits.
Roll out dough into a pie pan, then arrange plums7 cut-side up on top.
Rub 20 g flour, 6 g sugar, 8 g cold butter4, and cinnamon between fingers into a crumble; sprinkle over pie.
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.
