  • 1 oz. Fresh yeast

Directions

Prepare a yeast dough. Grease a cookie sheet and dust it with breadcrumbs. On it, roll out the dough to about finger thick. Along the edges, pull up the dough to form a rim. Top the tart with tightly arranged plum halves (at a slight angle). Dust with cinnamon, and bake at medium heat for 40 to 45 minutes. Once done, dust with sugar. Serves 4.
