 Country Tart (LA Times)

2 1/2# cherries

1/4-3/4c sugar [1/4]

Pastry (by Edon Waycott--de Pomiane used bread dough and butter):

2c flour [280g]

1/4oz active dry yeast [5g instant]

1/2tsp salt

1/2tsp sugar

1 1/2 sticks butter

2 egg yolks

1/3c water

Roll out pastry, top with cherries and sprinkle with sugar. Bake @450°F 30-35 min. Used a 9x13; could have used something smaller for a thicker crust. Needed more cherries for a 9x13. I liked it better the next day, after the juice stabilized and softened the crust a bit.

Rhubarb Kuchen (Luisa Weiss)

250g flour
5g instant yeast
75g sugar
1/4tsp salt
120g milk
1 yolk
40g butter

500g rhubarb, chopped, tossed with 40-50g sugar (after proof in the 9x13) and topped w/streusel.

Streusel:
70g flour
50g sugar (15g leftover brown sugar (3T)/cinnamon (1 tsp) mix, remainder white sugar)
50g butter
1/4tsp salt

Bake at 350*F for 50-60 minutes.



Streusel did not crisp--was the brown sugar the culprit? Also, there was far too much streusel, maybe that's a crisping issue, too.

Zuckekuchen (Classic German Baking, Luisa Weiss)

250g flour
1 tsp instant yeast (5g)
120g whole milk
75g sugar (50g)
1 egg yolk
40g butter, melted (softened, added gradually)
1/8 tsp salt (pinch)

Put all but the butter into the bread machine pan, select dough cycle. Add butter by the tablespoon after the dough has mostly come together.

Roll or stretch out to fit 9x13 pan (line with parchment for ease of removal). Dimple dough and scatter 60g butter (we prefer salted here) and 50g sugar over it. Let rest 20 minutes or so and then bake at 350*F for 20-25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.

This one turned out so much better than the first one (last summer). I guess I'm just crap at kneading.
