Ingredients:
For the Yeast Dough (approximately 25x35 cm pan):
- 350 ml warm milk
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 200 g sugar
- 600 g flour
- 10 g dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 100 g very soft unsalted butter
For the Filling:
- About 550 g of fruits (such as strawberries and blueberries, strawberries halved or quartered)
For the Crumble Topping:
- 100 g coarse flour
- 80 g powdered sugar
- 100 g unsalted butter
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk with eggs, egg yolks, and sugar. Stir for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to foam slightly.
- Add flour, yeast, oil, and soft butter. Use a stand mixer with a dough hook to knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is elastic and slightly sticky.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Transfer the risen dough to the pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Arrange the prepared fruits on top of the dough. If using strawberries, place them cut-side down.
- Prepare the Crumble:
- In a bowl, mix the coarse flour, powdered sugar, and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Final Touches:
- Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the fruits.
- Let the assembled pie rest for about 25 minutes before baking.
- Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 175-180°C (347-356°F).
- Bake the pie for about 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the fruits are bubbly.
