Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. Grind the oil with 50 gr. Sahara. It is not necessary for the sugar to be completely dissolved at this stage.

Step 2

Step 2
Sift wheat flour into the mixture. Add baking powder. Knead the dough.

Step 3

Step 3
This is what the shortcrust pastry should look like in the end. The consistency is dense and does not stick to your hands.

Step 4

Step 4
Wrap the dough ball in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours. If you use a baking dish with a diameter of no more than 20 cm, you can wrap the dough in a regular plastic bag. This will help a lot in the future.

Beat the eggs into a separate bowl (or blender) and add the remaining granulated sugar.

Step 6

Add all the cottage cheese and semolina.

Add bananas to curd mixture. Stir.

Step 10

Step 10
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. And roll out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 3 mm. I rolled it out directly in the bag. So my rolling pin stayed clean.

Step 11

Step 11
Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil. Distribute the dough into the mold with a margin of 4 cm on the side. I cut the bag along the seams along the length and it was convenient for me to distribute the dough into the mold.

Step 12

Step 12
Prick the dough with a fork.

Step 13

Step 13
And pour out the filling. Flatten the bananas. Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 200 degrees until done, about 20-30 minutes (the dough should brown and turn golden). Time and temperature are approximate, refer to your oven.
