Grape pie

Grape pie

INGREDIENTS

• 500 gr. bread dough (which can be bought ready to use from the bakery)
• 600 gr. small, mature black grapes
• 3 tablespoons fresh pork lard
• 6 tablespoons sugar

Recipe: Work the lard and two spoonfuls of sugar into the bread dough. Cover with a cloth and set to rest for an hour. Roll out the dough - not too thin - with a rolling pin.
Grease a baking sheet with the lard and cover with half the dough. Cover abundantly in grapes and a spoonful of sugar. Fold the remaining dough over the pie. Press the top down lightly with your fingers to close the sides. Add more grapes and another spoonful of sugar on top. Set to rest for an hour before baking in a 190° oven for 35-40 minutes. Serve cold.
