In winter I always look forward to Fastenwähe. It is a popular carnival speciality in Basel. It is very easy to make your own with just a few ingredients, so you can also enjoy it all year round.

Ingredients

for 6 pieces

Dough
250 g light spelt flour
1 tsp salt
¼ cube yeast (approx. 10 g), crumbled
1 dl oat drink or soya drink
80 g vegan butter substitute, cut into cubes
To shape
2 tbsp vegan cream substitute (Alpro Soya Cuisine)
a little  caraway seeds

How it's done

Dough

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Mix in the yeast. Add the oat drink and butter substitute, mix, knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Shape the dough into a ball, cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1 1/2 hrs. until doubled in size.

To shape

Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface, divide into 6 portions. Shape the dough into ovals that are slightly thinner at the ends, flatten a little to make pieces approx. 11 x 15 cm. Make 4 slits (approx. 4 cm long) in each. Place the pieces of dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper, carefully pull apart the slits. Brush with the cream substitute, sprinkle with the caraway seeds.

To bake

Approx. 12 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200 °C (convection). Remove from the oven, leave to cool on a rack.
