Plum Tarts With Cinnamon Crumble - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 None eggs + 1 egg yolk
13 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 cup 2% milk
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp cinnamon
3 lb plums, halved and stoned
1-2 tbsp powdered sugar

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 egg, 5 tbsp butter, and a pinch of salt. In a saucepan, heat the milk until lukewarm, add the yeast, and stir until dissolved. Pour yeast mixture into the flour mixture and knead with the dough hook of a mixer until a smooth dough forms. Cover and allow to rest in a warm place for 40 mins.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. On a floured work surface, knead the dough with floured hands. Shape into a 10 inch long roll and cut into 8 equal pieces. Flatten into rough 4 inch circles and place on the baking sheets. Allow to rest in a warm place for 20 mins.
Meanwhile, combine the cinnamon, 2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 8 tbsp butter and rub together with your fingertips to a crumble.
Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk and 1 tbsp water. Arrange the plums over the tarts and brush with the egg wash. Sprinkle over the crumble. Bake one sheet at a time for 20 mins each. Allow to cool on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar.
