  • Ingredients
    • 290 g buckwheat flour
    • 120 g tapioca starch (you can also use corn or potato starch in the same amount)
    • 1 pack of dry yeast
    • 1 tsp vanilla powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 100 ml agave syrup
    • 1 Tbsp psyllium husk hydrated in 40 ml of water
    • Zest of a lemon
    • 200 ml warmed cashew cream (or melted vegan butter from Rawckers)
    • 1 tsp turmeric
    • 270 ml plant-based milk
    • 200 g homemade nutella
  • Cooking instructions. Step by step
    • Begin by hydrating the psyllium husk in 40 ml of water, creating a thick, gel-like texture. This serves as a gluten replacement and enhances the dough’s binding properties.
    • In a mixing bowl, combine buckwheat flour, tapioca starch, dry yeast, vanilla powder, salt, turmeric (for a pleasing yellow hue in the absence of eggs), agave syrup, warmed cashew cream, hydrated psyllium, lemon zest, and plant-based milk to form the dough.
    • Knead the dough thoroughly, cover it with a towel, and allow it to rise for one hour.
    • After this time, the dough should be delightfully fluffy with a slightly softer consistency, ideal for achieving a fluffy end result.
    • Transfer the dough to a baking dish and incorporate dollops of homemade chocolate
    • Use the tail of a wooden spoon to evenly mix the chocolate into the dough.
    • Cover it once again and let it rest for an additional 30 minutes.
    • Proceed to bake in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes.
