• Dry yeast – 7 grams (or 20 grams fresh)
• Butter – 100 grams
• Egg – 1 piece
• Salt – 1/2 teaspoon spoon

Dough preparation:

1. Heat the milk a little (it should be warm to 25 degrees, but not hot). Add the yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar and leave for 10 minutes so that the yeast “comes to life”.
2. Sift the flour into a large bowl, add salt and the rest of the sugar. Add the egg, yeast mixture and melted (but not hot) butter to the flour.
3. Knead a soft, elastic dough. If it sticks to your hands, you can add a little flour, but do not overdo it – the dough should remain soft.
4. Cover the dough with a towel or film and leave it in a warm place for 1 – 1.5 hours to rise twice.

For the plum filling:

• Plums – 600 grams
• Sugar – 100 grams
• Corn or potato starch – 10 grams
• Vanilla – 1/2 stick (if desired, or cinnamon 1 stick )

Preparing the filling:

1. Wash the plums, cut them in half and remove the stones.
2. Then cut plums into medium pieces.
3. Mix the plums with sugar and vanilla (if using) boil for 3 minutes and add the starch diluted in cold water, it will help the filling stay thick during baking and boil for another 2 minutes with the starch.
