Sourdough Cardamom Stollen
On a Sunday, you just feel like having that special treat. So how about a Cardamom Stollen? With sourdough, of course! There was no time for baking yesterday, so the dough rested in the fridge until the next morning. Cardamom is a wonderful spice with many health benefits - it is used as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, a diuretic and a digestive aid.
Sourdough Cardamom Stollen
Ingredients
150 grams rice or spelt sourdough
350 grams spelt flour
50 grams rice flour
60 grams ghee or butter
120 ml kefir or almond milk
60 grams brown sugar/coconut sugar
1 egg
three pods of cardamon, freshly grind
pinch of salt
Directions
1. In a big bowl, mix all ingredients until you have a more or less sticky dough.
2. Let proof at room temperature for 3 hours. Turn the dough two times.
3. Flour the working surface and make a rectangle. Fill it with a marmalade or a jam, roll it and cut in two halves. Create a stollen shape bringing one part of the dough over the other.
4. Let proof for another 2 hours.
5. Preheat the oven and the baking sheet for 220 degrees. Dump the dough on the baking sheet and put into the oven. After 10 minutes, decrease the temperature to 200 degrees and bake for 15 minutes.
Enjoy!
