Step-by-step cooking

Step 1:
How to bake a French sugar pie. Prepare the products for making the dough. All of them should be at room temperature, this is important when preparing yeast dough - warm ingredients help it to rise better. Therefore, remove the eggs and butter from the refrigerator in advance.
Step 2:
Heat the milk to a temperature of about 40 ° C. It should become pleasantly warm. Add sugar and yeast to the milk, mix. Cover the dishes with milk with a napkin and leave for 15 minutes. By this process, we activate the yeast - let them wake up from the heat, feed them with sugar.
Step 3:
Good, fresh yeast should rise with a cap over milk. If this did not happen, then they are old or spoiled. We'll have to take others.
Step 4:
Break eggs into a large bowl, add soft butter and salt. Stir the mass with a whisk. It is not necessary to take out a mixer. Because the goal is just to mix the products without whipping them. The dough will rise due to yeast, and not due to whipped products.
Step 5:
Add milk with awakened yeast to the egg mass. Mix everything again with a whisk.
Step 6:
Sift all the flour into a bowl with the rest of the products. Do not neglect this point. Sifting saturates the flour with air, which makes baking softer and more lush.
Step 7:
Knead the dough with a spatula. It will turn out to be quite liquid, but this is how it should be - the less flour, the softer the pie. Stir it until smooth and the lumps disappear. Cover the bowl with a towel, film or lid, and put it away for an hour to rise in a warm place. I put it in a cold oven - there is no draft in it and the temperature is constant.
Step 8:
While the dough is rising, prepare the sprinkles. prepare the products for her. It is better to take cold oil, it will stir better. I took cream with 20% fat content. But you can take 10, and very fat, 33%. Focus on your taste. The fatter it is, the tastier it is, but the calorie content will also rise.
Step 9:
Mash sugar and butter with a fork until crumbs.
Step 10:
The dough should double during proofing.
Step 11:
Take any baking dish. I have a glass size of 25 * 20 cm. A round one with a diameter of 24 cm will do well. Lubricate it with vegetable oil. I advise you to smear directly with your hand, since then you will need to work with the dough with the same hand, it is very sticky. Put the dough into the mold, spread it evenly. Due to the fact that the hand will be in oil, it will not stick to it. Cover the dough form with a napkin and leave to rest for 20 minutes.
Step 12:
Use your finger to make indentations in the dough over the entire surface of the pie.
Step 13:
Put sugar and butter crumbs on top.
Step 14:
Put the pie in the oven, preheated to 180 ° C, top-bottom mode. Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes until browning. Then take out the pie and pour cream evenly over it. Return the pie to the oven for another 10 minutes.
Step 15:
Remove the finished cake from the oven and let it cool to a warm state. You can eat pie both warm and cold.

This is a very delicious pie! Especially when it is warm, when it cools down a little from the oven. The dough is soft, soaked in cream, sugar crunches! It is being prepared for one or two. We really liked it!

--------------------
Be prepared for the fact that flour may require a little more or, conversely, less than indicated in the recipe. You need to focus on how the dough should turn out (dense, soft, liquid, etc.). There is a lot of useful information about why flour, even of the same variety, can have completely different properties, read this article .
