Vlaai, also known as Limburgse vlaai, is a pie or tart consisting of a pastry and a fruit filling. Vlaai is usually 27—30 centimeters in diameter. It is a typical product from the southern regions of the Netherlands.Variations have toppings like crumbled butter and sugar mix, or a filling with cooked rice and custard.
IMPORTANT
If you are making a closed or lattice top (lattice is traditional for a Vlaai), you will need more flour. I made a lattice and used 125 gram of each of the two flours, for a total of 250 grams
FILLING
Do not use raw fruit in the Vlaai. The fruit will cook and burst and the liquid will ruin your pie. Cook the fruit separately and bind with a little sugar and corn starch and turn it into a kind of jam. Let it cool and use that for the filling.
NOW LET'S MAKE A VLAAI
Warm up the milk (not hot!) add the yeast, and stir to dissolve.
Put the salt in the mixing bowl first.
Sift the flour on top of the salt.
Make a dent in the flour and add the Butter, Sugar, Oil and Egg yoke.
Pour in the yeast/milk mix and knead (Mixer with dough hooks) into a supple dough.
Cover the dough and put in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough out to a 13 inch circle and cover the pan, taking off excess dough.
Spread the filling (fruit like strawberries, cherries, plums, peaches, apples, pears, gooseberries or apricots will work well) about 500 grams of fruit should be enough.
Cover the pie with the top or lattice.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350F until golden brown
Take the vlaai out of the pan and let cool on a rack.
Serve at room temperature with whip cream.
Do not keep in the refrigerator but rather in a cool place
