Pressburger – sand yeast dough pie recipe

Pressburger is a very tasty Israel pie made of sand dough and filler of quark with plum and lemon – a classic taste combination.

Although it’s is hardly known in the world, this dish is extremely popular in Israel. Dough cooked following special technology doesn’t soak with filler though it isn’t rough.

I really love to bake and I’ve got quite a lot of pastry recipes in my collection that can make one busy for a while.

And with great pleasure I will share one more wonderful recipe with you from Sergey Borodkin.
