minutesIngredients
- Pullatika
3 dl vegetable milk (I used 2dl coconut milk and 1dl water)
25 g fresh yeast
2 tbsp cardamom (you can't have too much of it!)
1 tsp cinnamon
50 g baking margarine
2 dl coconut sugar
1 chia egg (mix 2 tbsp chia seeds and 1/2dl water and let swell)
+ vegetable milk and coconut sugar for lubrication
+ almond meal for garnish
*if using eggs, you can replace the chia egg with one egg
- Coconut whipped cream
1 jar (2dl) of coconut cream (refrigerate for at least 2h)
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
1 tbsp agave syrup
- Chiahillo
2 dl berries of your choice
4 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp agave syrup
Preparation
- Pullatika
- Let the fat warm up at room temperature.
- Also prepare the chia egg.
- Warm the vegetable milk to lukewarm and crumble in the yeast.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the flour to the liquid and mix well, using an electric mixer if you have one or by hand.
- When about 3 dl of the flour is gone, add the chia egg.
- Continue by adding the rest of the flour.
- Finally, add the softened fat.
- Turn the dough out onto a baking tray and shape into a long, flat lump.
- The dough should be easy to handle, but still flexible.
- Cut the lump into pieces of the same size - mine came in 7 pieces. Or originally 10, but a couple of the buns would have been too small, so I combined them.
- Roll the pieces into flat, round buns, and place them on a baking tray on a baking sheet.
- Cover the tin with a cloth and let the buns rise for at least 60 minutes, or even a little longer.
- After rising, spread with a warm mixture of vegetable milk and coconut sugar (1dl vegetable milk + 1 tbsp coconut sugar) and sprinkle with almond meal and a dash of coconut sugar if you like. Further, if you use eggs, you can grease the buns with egg.
- Bake at 220°C for about 10-15 minutes until the surface is lightly brown.
- Allow the buns to cool before splitting and filling.
- Coconut cream
- Whip the ingredients with an electric whisk until thick.
- Put the cream in a piping bag or freezer bag and pipe around the edges of the bottom half of the split bun.
- Chiahillo
- Let the frozen berries thaw at room temperature or, if you are using foreign frozen berries, boil them for a couple of minutes first.
- Allow to cool for a moment, then add the seeds and sweetener, mixing carefully a few times.
- Leave to swell for at least half an hour, preferably overnight.
- Spoon the chia jam onto the bottom half of the bun in the space left in the middle of the coconut cream.
These turned out to be our favourite Easter buns. We got them big and soft, and they rose well. The recipe was saved and will be used again.
