also suitable for pizza

Whisk together the low-fat quark, oil, and egg. Then add the flour, baking powder, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt, and knead briefly with your hands. Continue processing as follows: – Make small heaps, top with fruit or nuts of your choice, and sprinkle with sugar/granulated sugar. (The pastries can also be brushed with egg white for shine and adhesion.) – Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1-2 cm. Cut out cookies and sprinkle with sugar. – Roll out the dough and place it in the casserole dish of the contact grill, or enclose it in a baking frame and top with fruit and nuts of your choice. – For pizza, prepare the dough without sugar and top with ingredients of your choice. Grill in a saucepan or with a baking frame in a contact grill preheated to level 3 for about 20 minutes (I use the Mulex contact grill). Tip: If you don’t have a contact grill, bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 15-20 minutes.
