+A traditional Czech pie that is close to my heart. It's not as hard to make as it may seem and it's quite a fun recipe, so simple to make vegan too.
+
+There is a variety of different fillings you can use, in this recipe I will show you how to make a plum jam version and a pear version. Although there is a hoast of other possible options, you can find them readily online. 
+
+<i>Tip: The dough is quite sticky, so make sure to flour your hands and the surface you are working on.</i>
+
+<i>Tip: Homemade jams vary in thickness and sweetness, adjust accordingly.</i>
