Ingredients:

Bread:

125ml milk

10g fresh yeast

30g sugar

1 egg

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp cinnamon

250g plain flour

35g butter in smaller cubes

Berry mix:

300g blueberries

50g quark/ricotta

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 lemon juice

First make the sweet bread.

Combine yeast with milk and sugar. Beat the egg and put 1/2 in a fridge. Add rest of the egg, salt, cinnamon and flour to the milk and pulse on low speed for 3-5 minutes.

On the low speed add butter cubes one after other and pulse another 5 minutes.

Cover the dough and let rise 1 hour in a warm place.

Knead 2-3 minutes and let rise another hour.

Roll the dough in to a round base for the pie and carefully place the dough into pie plate. Spread quark over the middle of the pie. Put blueberries over the quark and add lemon juice and sugar. Brush the dough edges with rest of the beaten egg.
