I wanted to make an impressive bread that I could serve at house parties or when I'm hanging out with friends.
The pie is topped with a lean dough that has been coated in an egg wash and arranged in a lattice pattern to give a pie-style effect.
The bread dough on the bottom is soft with the juices of the filling.

・ The cooking time may vary so please adjust it according to your type of oven.
・ You can replace the 100 g strong bread flour + 100 g cake flour with 200 g bread flour or 200 g cake flour instead.
・ You can cut the lattice pattern out of the dough really easily if you use a lattice roller. Recipe by itarunrun

Ingredients

8 servings
  1. 128 grams○Water
  2. 100 grams○Bread (strong) flour
  3. 100 grams○Cake flour
  4. 5 grams○Sugar
  5. 5 grams○Unsalted butter
  6. 3 grams○Salt
  7. 2/3 tsp○Dry yeast
  8. 1Your choice of filling (bolognese, curry, custard, sweet simmered apples, etc.)
  9. 1Butter
  10. 1Beaten egg

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Place all of the ○ ingredients into the bread maker and set it to the dough making course. Stop the bread maker when it is 80% of the way through mixing and leave the bread to prove in a warm place.

  2. 2

    Once the bread has finished proving, split it into 2 rounds, and leave it to sit for 15 minutes while covered with a damp cloth.

  3. 3

    Roll both pieces of dough out to the same size as the pie dish that you will use. Grease the pie dish with a little butter and line it with one of the sheets of dough. Then prick the dough with a fork. Use a bench scraper to cut the other sheet of dough into 1 cm wide strips.

  4. 4

    Fill the pie dish with your choice of filling, then lay the strips of dough over the top to form a lattice pattern. Use any excess dough to border the edges of the pie.

  5. 5

    Cover the pie with a damp cloth and leave it in a warm place to prove for a second time. (Leave it to prove for about half the length of time you would prove normal bread.)

  6. 6

    Glaze the pie with a beaten egg and bake it for around 25 minutes in an oven preheated to 200°C.

  7. 7

    This is the bolognese version. Try eating this at lunch or taking it to parties.

  8. 8

    This pie contains sweet simmered apples and sweet potato paste. It makes a delicious snack.

  9. 9

    Lastly, here is an apple jam and yogurt cream version.
