Ingredients
- 250g All-purpose flour
- 50g Sugar
- 7g Dry yeast
- 1 TL Salt
- 125ml Milk, lukewarm
- 1 Egg
- 50g Butter, softened
- 100g Brown sugar (Muscovado or cane sugar)
- 50g Butter, melted, for topping
- 2 EL Cream
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, dry yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and caramelized.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
