Fall Baking with Plums

Hello there!

It is fall, 

though the trees are not yet changing in my yard yet.

I am in the fall baking mood, 

which happens to me every fall!

Not so much the rest of the year, however, I am

trying to turn over a new leaf

and document the things that I am doing

each day.

Maybe this is mostly for me,

but for sure I want to do this and write.

I created a pastry today that is a knock off of one my

mother baked when she was alive, but she 

baked it in a large baking sheet and not

in individual little pastries.

I made this by using a very simple recipe.  

I love the recipe "5 Minute Bread" which is found easily

on line under that title.

I mixed up the bread recipe and let it rise.

Then I took small pieces of the dough about half the size

of a golf ball,  rolled the dough in sugar.

Then after rolling it in sugar I flatten the sugared dough in

a round disk shape and put it on my baking stone.

(on the stone is white cornmeal)

Then I used purple plums from my plum tree in my yard.

Cut the plums in half and place 2 or 3 plums on 

the flattened sugared bread.

When we were touring in Europe in the fall, I remember seeing these

in the bakeries, though I never ordered one, only took

pictures of the beautiful pastries, they looked divine.

After the plums are placed on the bread, I sprinkle cinnamon

and sugar mixture over the top of the plums and bread.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, 

and they turn out just like this!

They are so scrumptious!

I look forward to them every year.

One of the things always on my fall bucket list.

They are so fun and easy!

Enjoy.

Ciao,

Robin
