Fruit Tart

In this lazy pre- Christmas afternoon in Florence
 I decided to make this delicious fruit tart.

Preheat the oven medium  temperature




Ingredients:

300 gr of flour
2 Spoonfull of sugar
grated lemon peel
one packet yeast
20 spoonful of soy milk
300 gr of jam
8 spoonful of oevo

Preheat the oven medium temperature
Pour the flour into a bowl
Pour into the bowl  the oil, milk, sugar, yeast, lemon peel,
Mix well in the spring and then begin to add the flour a little at a time
Work the dough for 4 minutes

Spread half of it into a greased medium size baken tin
Cover with jam



With the remaining dough, make strips



Arrange the strips making diamond-shaped intersection
Bake for 25/30 minutes

and then eat with a good Tuscan Vinsanto...



Merry Christmas!
