Step by Step guide

Step 1

Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the center, and pour in the yeast dissolved in milk with 1 tablespoon of sugar and a small amount of flour. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Then add 80 grams of sugar, salt, eggs, and oil, knead the dough, and let it rise for 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 392°F. Wash the plums, cut each in half, and remove the pits.

Step 3

Roll out the dough on a greased baking sheet into a thin layer, sprinkle with 40 grams of sugar, and arrange the plums on top. Bake the pie in the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar and ginger. Place the mixture in a piping bag. Remove the pie from the oven, pipe the meringue on top, and return it to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
