Ingredients

  • 500 g spelled flour type 630
  • 250 ml plant drink
  • 110 g vegetable butter
  • 90 g of sugar
  • 1 pinch of ground vanilla
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • ½ cube of yeast
  • 2 tbsp plant drink (preferably soy milk)
  • 180 g of blueberries
  • 100 g blueberry jam

Instructions

  • Heat the plant drink and melt the butter in it. Leave to cool until lukewarm before you crumble in the yeast. Dissolve the yeast in the plant drink and add 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  • Set aside in a warm place for 15 minutes. After a few minutes, small bubbles should form on the surface because the yeast has activated. (This is not necessary if using dry yeast, just mix it directly with the other ingredients)
  • Meanwhile, mix the flour with the sugar, vanilla and salt in a bowl.
  • Add the plant-based milk-yeast mix to the flour mixture and mix well. Knead in a food processor for 10-15 minutes.
  • Kneading by hand is also good. You need a bit of perseverance, but you can tell very well when the dough becomes supple.
  • Cover the dough in the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 60 minutes. The volume should double during this time.
  • Wash the blueberries and pat dry.
  • When the volume of the dough has doubled, knead briefly again and roll out on a floured surface into a rectangle (approximately 30 x 45cm).
  • Spread the rolled out dough with the jam, top with the blueberries and roll up. Cut the roll lengthways with a sharp knife and twist the two parts together.
  • Grease a baking tin, dust with flour and place the babka in the tin. Cover with a kitchen towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • After 30 minutes, brush the babka with plant drink, place in the middle of the oven and bake for 30 – 35 minutes until golden.
