Coconut Green Tea Tart - Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free

Thursday, February 15, 2018

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2018 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Similar to a bakewell tart but made with desiccated coconut flakes instead of almonds, this easy to make tart is delicious right out of the oven or cold. The wholegrain crust is made with a mix of whole spelt flour, green tea leaves and sesame seeds and has a mild sweet flavour and just the right consistency.

Coconut Oil Crust with Green Tea LeavesCoconut Cherry Filling, adopted from here
  • 240 g Spelt pastry flour
  • 10 g Green tea leaves
  • 30 g White sesame seeds
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Erythritol granules
  • 100 g Coconut oil, lightly softened
  • 4-6 tbsp Ice water
  • 2 Eggs, large
  • 100 g Erythritol granules
  • 1 tsp Vanilla essence
  • 50 g Spelt pastry flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 65 g Desiccated coconut
  • 50 g Dried cherries
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F. In a large mixing bowl, add in the spelt flour, green tea leaves, sesame seeds, salt, and erythritol granules. Whisk to combine. Add in the lightly softened coconut oil and rub the coconut oil into the flour-tea-mixture until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water a couple of tablespoons at a time, and mix just until dough begins to come together.
  2. Turn dough out onto a work surface and divide into two portions. Wrap one portion in a plastic wrap and store in the freezer for later use. Form another portion of dough into a flattened disc. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least an hour or until firm.
  3. Roll the pastry dough between two sheets of baking paper until the dough is about 2mm thick and large enough to fit a 22cm tart pan. Remove the sheet of dough from the baking paper and gently lift and coax the dough into the pan. Lightly press the dough into the bottom and side of the pan. Chill for 30 minutes and line the crust with baking paper and fill with enough dried beans to cover the bottom and side of the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until any visible dough is slightly cooked. Remove the beans and baking paper. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Reduce oven temperature to 180C/350F.
  5. To make filling, whisk eggs, erythritol granules, and vanilla essence until combined. Fold in spelt flour, pinch of salt and coconut flakes.
  6. Sprinkle the dried cherries into the tart shell and cover with the coconut filling. Smooth the surface and bake for 30 minutes, or until set and golden brown. Cool to room temperature.

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2018 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

These chewy yet soft golden dinner rolls are filled with a homemade onion walnut jam. They smell incredibly delicious and make the perfect accompaniment to a bowl of steaming hot soup or a hearty stew on a cold winter day.

  • 7 g Dried yeast
  • 2 tsp Coconut sugar
  • 160 ml Buttermilk (or water), lukewarm
  • 200 g Spelt bread flour
  • 100 g Whole spelt flour
  • 1/3 tsp Sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 180 g Onion jam, homemade or storebought
  • 1 Egg, lightly beaten
  1. Place yeast, sugar and warm buttermilk or water in a jug. Set aside in a warm place for 10 minutes or until frothy.
  2. Add bread and whole spelt flour into a large mixing bowl. Stir in salt, yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough for 10 to 15 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place in a large, lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Using your fist, punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 minutes or until smooth. Divide dough into 6 even portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Place on lightly floured oven tray. Set aside for 10 minutes to rise.
  5. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Grease one maxi muffin tray well with olive oil. Roll each portion of dough into an oval. Slice the dough 6 times all the way to the center of the dough. So you have 6 strips at the bottom. Place 30 grams of onion jam on upper side of the dough, then roll up to seal the filling. Coil the length of dough roll into a snail shape and place in the prepared muffin tray. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
  6. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes or until dough has almost doubled in size. Brush the top with egg. Bake for about 20 minutes. Turn rolls onto a wire rack to cool. Serve at room temperature.

Vegan Orange Cardamom Spelt Bread Rolls (Dairy-free, Egg-free, & Refined sugar-free)

Thursday, December 28, 2017

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com



A slightly sweet, aromatic bread (sweetened with maple syrup and erythritol) flavored with the unique scent of cardamom and orange peel for the New Year or for a mid afternoon snack or lunch-box treat. You can bake this braided or in a cake pan. For a more traditional cardamom bread, use walnut instead of the raisin filling.

DoughFilling
  • 4 g Dried yeast
  • 200 ml Coconut milk, warmed
  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 100 g Whole spelt flour
  • 200 g Spelt bread flour
  • 1 tsp Cardamom powder
  • 1/3 tsp Fine sea salt
  • 2 tsp Finely grated orange rind
  • 75 g Coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbsp Hemp seeds, for topping, optional
  • White chocolate, melted for topping, optional
  • 150 g Raisins
  • 100 ml Freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cardamom powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 3 tbsp Erythritol granules
  1. The night before preparing the rolls, soak raisins in orange juice or rum in your refrigerator.
  2. Whisk the dried yeast, coconut milk and maple syrup in a jug. Set aside for 10 minutes or until frothy.
  3. Combine the flours, cardamom powder and salt in the mixing bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Make a well in centre. Add the yeast mixture, melted coconut oil, and orange rind. Stir at low speed until the ingredients roughly combined, about 3 minutes. Increase speed to medium, and knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  4. Place in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside to let rise for 60-90 minutes or until doubled in size. Punch the dough down and let rest 10 minutes.
  5. Combine cardamom, cinnamon and erythritol granules in a small bowl. Drain the soaked raisins and reserve 1 tablespoon of the soaking liquid.
  6. Roll the dough out to approximately a 36cm x 24cm rectangle. Sprinkle the rectangle with the spice mixture and raisins.
  7. Roll up, starting at the long side, and pinch edges firmly to seal. Cut the roll into 8 slices. Place the slices, cut side down, in a 26-cm round pan lined with parchment paper. Let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about an hour.
  8. Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Brush the top with reserved soaking liquid and sprinkle the hemp seeds over. Bake for 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over warm rolls. Enjoy!
