Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 25 minutes

First, combine the flour with the baking powder, then mix with the remaining base ingredients using a hand mixer fitted with a dough hook, first on the lowest speed and then on the highest speed, until a dough forms. Grease a 30 cm springform pan and, if necessary, preheat the oven to 200°C (conventional heat) or 180°C (convection oven). The quiche can also be baked in a small springform pan measuring 28 x 18 x 7 cm. Roll out the dough on a smooth, floured surface to a diameter of 35 cm and line the pan with it. The additional 5 cm will be the quiche’s edges. Prick the dough several times with a fork, then bake on the middle rack for about 15 minutes. While the base is pre-baking, prepare the filling. Cut the frozen sucuk into slices, which makes it easier and more even, and then dice it. Place these cubes in a hot pan and let them cook for a while. Finely dice half an onion and sauté in the pan with the sucuk until translucent. Then transfer it to a bowl and set aside. Peel, deseed, and finely dice the pumpkin. Add a little oil to the sucuk pan and fry the pumpkin for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the sucuk and onion mixture and mix. Spread this mixture over the crust, which has now been removed from the oven. Whisk the sour cream and eggs until smooth, season with spices and a pinch of sugar, and spread over the pumpkin. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake the quiche on the bottom rack for about 30 minutes and serve hot. Serve with a fresh salad.
