Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 50 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Number of servings: 8
Necessary ingredients:
*For the dough:*
- 300 g wheat flour, plus 100 g for rolling
- 1 large egg
- 1 rich yogurt (about 200 g)
- 2 tablespoons of oil (preferably sunflower or olive)
- 30 g dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
*For the filling:*
- 500 g grated pumpkin (preferably sugar pumpkin for a sweeter taste)
- 1 cup of sugar (about 200 g)
- 100 g raisins (optional, but recommended for extra flavor)
- A pinch of pepper
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger (for a slightly spicy taste)
*Additionally, for brushing:*
- 1 small egg
- 50 g yogurt
Preparation steps:
1. Preparing the dough: In a bowl, sift the 300 g of flour and add a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and add the dry yeast. Start pouring in warm water (not hot, to avoid killing the yeast) and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. It will ferment and start bubbling.
2. Mixing the ingredients: Once the yeast is activated, add the remaining ingredients: the egg, yogurt, oil, and 100 g of flour. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, you can gradually add more flour. Cover it with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place, away from drafts, for 30-40 minutes.
3. Preparing the filling: Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Grate the pumpkin, then let it drain well from its juice. Mix the pumpkin with the sugar, cinnamon, pepper, ginger, and raisins. These ingredients combine perfectly and offer a delicious taste, typical of autumn.
4. Forming the pie: When the dough has risen and doubled in volume, divide it into two equal parts. On a floured surface, roll out each part into a not very thick sheet. Add the pumpkin filling on one sheet, then carefully roll the dough to form a log.
5. Cooking in the Multicooker: Grease the Philips Multicooker pot with a little butter or oil. Place the rolls in the pot. Beat the egg with the yogurt and brush the pie with this mixture to achieve a golden and appetizing crust. Set the BAKE function to 150 degrees Celsius for 50 minutes, allowing the pie to brown nicely.
6. Serving: After the pie is baked, let it cool slightly, then dust it with vanilla sugar for an elegant finish. You can serve the pie with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a contrast of textures and flavors.
Useful tips and tricks:
- Choosing the pumpkin: Choose a quality pumpkin, preferably the sugar one, which is sweeter and has a fine texture. The pumpkin should be firm, without spots or signs of damage.
- Raisins: If you don't like raisins, you can replace them with chopped nuts or add apple pieces for extra freshness.
- Variations: You can add a pinch of nutmeg for an even more complex flavor or replace cinnamon with pie spices if you want a more intense aroma.
- Monitoring the baking: Keep an eye on the pie in the last 10 minutes of baking. If you notice it browning too quickly, you can cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour to make the pie healthier. However, the texture will be denser.
2. How can I store the pie?
The pie keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for 3-4 days. You can also freeze it, but it is recommended to consume it fresh for the best flavors.
3. What drinks pair well with pumpkin pie?
A cup of mint tea or warm cider can be perfect accompaniments for pumpkin pie. Also, a semi-dry white wine pairs very well.
