Ingredients
- 2½ cups 300g all-purpose flour + 1 tbsp
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- ⅔ cup 150 ml warm water
- 7 g dry yeast 1 packet
- ⅓ cup 65 ml oil or 120g vegan margarine (for croissant-like texture)
- 12 tsp jam of your choice e.g. blackberry, raspberry, apricot
For brushing:
- 2 tbsp soy milk or other plant milk
Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
- In a small bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, 1 tbsp flour, and 1 tbsp sugar. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add in the yeast mixture and oil (or soft margarine). Stir and knead until a smooth dough forms.
Step 3: Divide and Roll
- Place dough on a floured surface and cut into 6 equal pieces. Roll each into a thin oval sheet, roll it up like a cinnamon roll, then slice lengthwise. Coil each strip into a rose shape.
Step 4: Rise and Preheat
- Place the shaped cruffins into a greased muffin tin. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 180°C.
Step 5: Bake
- Brush the tops with soy milk and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 6: Fill with Jam
- Let cruffins cool slightly, then use a teaspoon to make a shallow hole in the center of each (don’t pierce the bottom). Fill each with 1 tsp of jam.
Step 7: Serve
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
