Put the dry yeast in a bowl and add the warm milk. Leave to rest for 10 minutes, then mix.
Add the flour on top, then the salt, sugar, and eggs. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
Add the softened butter gradually and knead until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl (about 10 minutes).
Cover with a cloth and let rise for 2 hours at room temperature.
Transfer the dough to a greased pie pan and spread it evenly over the entire surface. Let it rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
Make holes in the dough with your fingers.
Mix the eggs and cream. Pour this mixture over the dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top, then cut the butter into small pieces and sprinkle them on top as well.
Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F for 25 minutes.
Take your sugar pie out of the oven, let it cool slightly, and there you have it, it's ready! Enjoy!
FAQ ❓
Why is my sugar pie so fluffy?
The sugar pie gets its fluffiness from the brioche dough, which is rich in butter and eggs, giving it a light and airy texture.
Can I replace the dark brown sugar (vergeoise) with another type of sugar?
Yes, you can use brown or white sugar, but this may slightly change the flavor and color of the pie.
How long does it take to prepare the sugar pie?
Preparation takes about 10 minutes, but you also need to allow 3 hours for the dough to rise before baking.
What is the best way to store the sugar pie?
To keep the pie soft for a few days, it is best to store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
Can I add fruit to the sugar pie?
Yes, you can add fruit such as pears or apples for extra freshness and flavor, but this may affect the pie's final texture.
