3. Divide the dough into two parts. Roll out one part and place it on the bottom of the pan, letting it extend over the edges. Spread the jam evenly and cover with the second rolled-out part of the dough. Alternatively, you can grate the second part and distribute the crumbs evenly over the jam. Seal the edges and bake for 30 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
