Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 3 hours 5 minutes

For a loaf pan of approx. 25 cm

Crumble the yeast and mix with lukewarm milk and sugar. Mix in 2 tablespoons of flour and let the dough rise for 10 minutes. Mix 300g of flour with baking powder and salt in a bowl and make a well in the bowl. Add the oil, eggs and dough to the well. Mix everything with a hand mixer until you have a soft, smooth dough. Gradually work a little flour into the dough with your hands until it is still soft but kneadable. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, peel the asparagus and trim the ends. Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a saucepan with 1 level teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Add the asparagus and cook for 6-8 minutes until al dente. Drain in a sieve, rinse well, drain well and cut into 1-2 cm long pieces. Line the loaf pan with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Wash the wild garlic, pat dry, and cut the leaves into strips. Cut the ham into thin strips and finely grate the mountain cheese. Slice the mozzarella, squeeze dry between two layers of kitchen paper, and cut into small cubes. Pat the asparagus dry. Season the asparagus and mozzarella with salt and pepper. Knead the asparagus, mozzarella, wild garlic, ham, and mountain cheese into the yeast dough. Pour the dough into the dish and let it rest for 10 minutes. Bake the asparagus pie in the oven on the bottom rack for about 1 hour. Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack. Can be served lukewarm or cold.
