German pie with streusel and jam

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a German pie with streusel and jam? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. How to make pie dough? Heat the milk and pour it into a deep bowl that is convenient for kneading the dough. Add yeast and 30 grams of sugar to warm milk. Leave for 15 minutes. The yeast should disperse and form a foamy cap. If this does not happen, you need to take other yeast. Then add the egg, salt, vegetable oil, sour cream (sour cream is optional).

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve or using a special mug. Then start kneading the dough by introducing flour in parts, it took me 500 g. You may need a little less or a little more flour, since it may have different properties. The finished dough will be soft and elastic. Place it in a bowl and cover with a towel or cling film and let it stand for about 1-1.5 hours in a warm place.

3. STEP 3

   

   How to make streusel topping? Mix 300 grams of flour, 100 grams of sugar and a stick of butter. The butter must be taken out of the refrigerator in advance so that it is soft. Grind everything into crumbs with your hands. Make small crumbs, but don’t make them too small; there should be some large lumps.

4. STEP 4

   

   This is the streusel crumb I got.

5. STEP 5

   

   Our dough is already ready. Punch it down and roll it into a layer 1 cm thick. It should be rolled out thinly, because the layer should not be too high. I have a sheet 38 by 40 cm.

6. STEP 6

   

   Using a rolling pin, transfer it to a baking tray lined with baking paper. If you are not sure about the quality of the baking paper, you can grease it with vegetable oil. Don't make sides. Prick the dough all over the surface with a fork, this is necessary to prevent bubbles from swelling on the dough during baking.

7. STEP 7

   

   Now take any jam or jam. Better with sourness. Usually plum or apple is used. I have apricot. Spread a thin layer of the chosen jam over the entire layer of dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   And sprinkle crumbs on top. Turn on the oven to 200 degrees. While the oven is heating, the cake will rise slightly. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake the pie for about 25 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Yeast cake with streusel Kuchen is ready. The edges of the dough should be browned, but the top should remain light. I covered it with baking paper and a dry towel. So it should stand and cool. The pie will be soft. Cut the finished pie into cubes. Store it also covered with a towel. Well, very tasty. It's impossible to tear yourself away. Bon appetit!
