Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, sugar, dry yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Add lukewarm milk and egg and knead everything into a smooth dough. Gradually add the softened butter and continue kneading until fully incorporated and the dough is elastic (about 10 minutes).
  3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in volume.
  4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and line a tart pan (approx. 24 cm diameter) with parchment paper. Form a small rim. Let rise for another 20 minutes.
  5. Press small indentations into the dough with your fingers. Mix the brown sugar and melted butter well and spread evenly over the dough. Drizzle the cream over it.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and caramelized.
  7. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
