Ingredients

150 g flour
10 g fresh yeast
4 tbsp sugar
6 tbsp lukewarm milk
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp softened butter
100 g low‑fat quark
1 tsp grated lemon zest
2 tsp cornstarch
0.5 pear
0.5 apple
2 plums
50 g green grapes
30 g lingonberries
1 tbsp pine nuts

Instructions

1.
Put the flour in a bowl and press a well into the center. Crumble the yeast into it, then mix with 1 tsp sugar, milk, and a little flour. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes, then add 2 tbsp sugar, one egg yolk, and the butter; knead and cover to rise again in a warm place for 30 minutes.
2.
Whisk the second egg yolk with quark, lemon zest, 1 tbsp sugar, and cornstarch. Wash, peel, and chop the fruit into small pieces.
3.
Knead the dough briefly, roll it out on lightly floured surface, and line a greased baking tin with it. Spread the quark cream over the dough, top with fruit, and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (middle rack) for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and pine nuts, then bake for another 10–12 minutes.
