  • 40g sugar

Directions

Pasta Preparation
Place the flour, sugar, salt and yeast on a work surface. Open a hole in the middle. Add the Esporão Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the egg yolks and mix with a fork. Add the water and knead until you get a homogeneous dough. If necessary add a little more water. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough, leaving a little part for decoration, and put it in the shape. Prick the bottom with a fork.

Pumpkin puree preparation
Preheat the oven to 180º.
Cut a baby squash in half and clean the seeds. Season with a little salt and a drizzle of Esporão Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, place the halves face down on a tray lined with oven paper. Bake in the oven until soft.
Remove the pulp from the pumpkin and grind until you get a puree.

Spices preparation
Mix the spices and pass through a very fine mesh strainer to eliminate any lumps.

Filling preparation
Preheat the oven to 220º.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolk. Mix sugar, salt and spices.
Fold the mixture into the pumpkin puree. Add the evaporated milk and the Esporão Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and stir until a homogeneous liquid is obtained.
Pour the liquid into the pie. Place in the oven for 15 min. After this time, lower the temperature to 180º.
Control the cooking of the pie. As soon as tiny cracks begin to appear on the sides of the pie, remove it from the oven. The center may not be cooked yet and may wobble, but no problem. The pie will still continue to cook out of the oven and will solidify in the center. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
