Vegan orange and raisin buns recipe

Friday, January 27, 2017

Today I would like to share with you one of my favourite, super simple and fast way of baking vegan orange and raisin buns.I am great fan of baking my own bread. I love experimenting with my own inventions and trying out someone else recipes. I must admit that baking is kind of addictive and I really got hooked on it.
I can remember when I've tried to make my first bread without bread maker and it was such a great fun. I love that moment when I take bread or buns out of oven, put them on the racking to cool down and then I can taste my first slice. I love taste and smell of fresh bread and rolls. For me baking is still a very creative adventure, I keep discovering different recipes and ideas every single day. I love replacing traditional non vegan ingredients with healthier solution.
My vegan orange and raisin buns taste bit like teacakes I sometimes buy in the shop but the taste of orange and spices is much more intense.

Ingredients
Makes 6-7 buns

250 grams of white plain flour
100 ml of warm plant milk
75ml of warm water
15 ml of cold pressed/virgin oil ( I've used rapaseed oil for that recipe)
60 grams of brown sugar
6 tsp of orange peel
6 tsp of raisins
2 tsp of mixed spices
1 tsp (3 grams) of dry yeasts
pinch of salt

Preparation
1. Mix plain flour with sugar,salt and mixed spices.
2. Add about 80 ml of warm milk and start to knead that bread. Make a small hole in a dough and pour the rest of the milk and add dry yeasts. Leave for up to 5 minutes and then add warm water,oil,orange peel and carry on working on dough.
Or you can alternatively use food processor to speed up the process of making the dough.
3. Transfer the dough to bowl and cover with tea towel and leave it to double in warm place for up to 1/2-1 hour.
4.Heat the fan oven/oven up to 180 Degrees C /200 Degrees C
5. Divide the dough into 6 pieces., form small balls and use pin roller to make them flat.
6. Place raw buns on the baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
7.Take baking tray out of oven and place buns on the racking to cool down.

Enjoy it ...

Vegan coconut & chocolate no bake cheese cake

I used to be almost addicted to Bounty bars before I became vegan. I love taste of coconut. I was thinking how to make a great coconut and chocolate cheese cake. I came with this idea of creating a multi layers vegan cheese cake which will taste heavenly. This cake is an effect of my experiment with coconut milk & designated coconut. It's a great source of protein, saturated fat and carbohydrates.

Recipe below, you don't need to wait for few hours for that cake to set and be ready to serve.

400 ml of coconut milk
20 grams of raw cocoa powder
30 grams of designated coconut
40 grams of brown sugar( you can use any vegan sweetener such as agave syrup, maple syrup or stevia sweetner)
15 grams of agar agar powder

Preparation
1. Pour 200 ml of soy milk to saucepan , add 5 grams of brown sugar and 3 grams( less than tea spoon) of agar agar powder.Bring to boil on medium heat to activate agar agar powder, keep to stir all the time.
2. Leave the mixture on side to cool down for about 5 minutes and then pour it to container or other dish of your choice( you can always divide that mixture to small round glass dishes or ramekins). Leave it to set for about 20-30 minutes
3. Pour 200 ml of coconut milk to saucepan add agar agar powder, designated coconut and tea spoon of brown sugar. Bring it to boil while stiring. Boil for about 2-3 minutes after first bubble will appear and then leave it on side for around 5 minutes to cool down.
