First we're going to make the dough, because it needs time to rise. COMBINE flour, yeast and sugar. HEAT butter along with the milk until it's lukewarm. This shouldn't be too warm, otherwise the yeast won't work as well.
KNEAD the dough for a few minutes, until it's smooth and elastic. TRANSFER the dough ball to a bowl, cover with cling film and let it rise on a warm spot for about an hour.
COAT the pie form with butter and a thin layer of flour.
DUST the work surface and rolling-pin with flour and roll out the dough until it's quite thin. TRANSFER the dough to the form, remove excess dough and press it downwards with your hands.
POKE holes in the bottom with a fork and let the dough rise for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile RINSE the peaches, remove the pit and divide into small wedges.
PRE-HEAT the oven to 250 degrees celsius or 480 degrees Fahrenheit, this type of pies will bake shortly in a very hot oven. DIVIDE a small layer of bread crumbs on the bottom of the pie.
DIVIDE the peach wedges over the pie crust. BAKE the pie beautiful golden brown in about 10 minutes, depending on your oven. Let the pie cool off and create the jelly topping.
HEAT 250 ml water or the peach juice from the can and use gelatin or cornstarch to thicken the juice. Let it cool off slightly and then pour it over the pie. Enjoy!
