Einkorn Aronia Buns with Coconut Filling

Thursday, August 02, 2018

Nothing is better than fresh homemade bread! These sweet, soft bread buns with a buttery coconut filling are so yummy that I can't stop eating them. The dough, made with a mix of einkorn and wheat flour, aronia powder and coconut milk, is tender, soft and full of flavour. You can replace aronia powder with green tea, beet or moringa powder.

Coconut Filling	Dough
50 g Unsalted butter, softened 50 g Raw sugar 1 Egg, at room-temperature 100 g Desiccated coconut 50 g Coconut milk, at room-temperature	180 ml Coconut milk, lukewarm 1 Large egg 40 g Raw sugar 170 g Einkorn flour 100 g Bread flour 1 tbsp Aronia powder 5 g Dried yeast 1/3 tsp Sea salt

Cream butter and raw sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg until combined. Add in desiccated coconut. Stir to combine. Add in coconut milk until well incorporated. Cover with a plastic wrap and set aside until ready for use. In the bowl of your stand mixer attached with a dough hook, add coconut milk, egg, raw sugar, einkorn, bread flour, yeast and salt. Mix everything at slow speed just until flour is moistened. Turn speed to medium. Knead the dough until it is smooth and gathering in the center, about 8 minutes.
Shape the dough into a ball. Grease the mixing bowl with a little bit of oil. Return the dough to the bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set it on a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size. Grease a 26-cm springform pan with butter.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Lightly dust the work area with flour and roll each portion into a rectangle that is about 5mm thick.
Spread 1/8 of the coconut filling on the dough, leaving about 1cm border on sides. Roll the log tightly and pinch the seams and the ends to seal.
Position the log with the seam side down. Using a knife, start to slice each log vertically leaving about 1/4 inch on one end uncut. Rotate the two split logs so that the cut sides are facing up. Gently twist the two cut logs together in a spiral manner, as if braiding. Form a coil and tuck the end under it. Place into the springform pan

Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Brush the surface of the rolls with the egg wash. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.

Lime Loaf Cake with Silken Tofu and Candied Ginger

Thursday, July 26, 2018

Delicious and healthy homemade lime cake from scratch with silken tofu and candied ginger. I have topped the cake with a sprinkle of mixed sesame seeds, instead, you can drizzle a lime icing (100 g icing sugar+2 tbsp lime juice) over the cake once it's completely cooled.

300 g Silken tofu
1 Organic lime
50 g Candied ginger, finely chopped
300 g Fine spelt flour
2 tsp Baking powder
Pinch of salt

100 ml Sunflower oil
100 g Coconut sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla paste
1/2 tbsp Sesame seeds for topping

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 22cmx11cmx9cm loaf pan with baking paper.
Place silken tofu in a mixing bowl. Rinse the lime with hot water and dry with a clean kitchen towel afterwards. Finely grate the lime zest, then squeeze the juice and add both to the silken tofu. Puree the ingredients with an immersion blender. Fold in finely chopped candied ginger.
Mix together the spelt flour, baking powder and salt. Whip oil, coconut sugar, eggs and vanilla paste until creamy, about 5 minutes. Fold in silken tofu mixture, then add in flour mixture in 2-3 additions. Mix until just incorporated.
Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the sesame over and bake for 50-60 minutes. Remove and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
