Apple Nut Bread

Ingredients:

• 1.5 kg apples with skin, coarsely grated
• 0.3 kg nuts, coarsely chopped
• 0.4 kg figs, coarsely chopped
• 0.3 kg raisins
• 0.5 kg sugar
• 1 packet Lebkuchen spice
• 2 tbsp 80 % rum
• 1 kg spelt flour
• 1 packet baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 cup of water

Mix together the apples, nuts, raisins, figs, sugar, Lebkuchen spice and rum. Leave to rest overnight. Combine the baking powder and salt and mix into the fruit. Shape the dough into plaits and bake at 180°C for 90 minutes.


 

Wholemeal Spelt Bread

Ingredients:

• 50 g spelt flour (Type 480 Universal)
• 250 g wholemeal spelt flour
• 15 g salt
• 1 packet Dried yeast
• 30 ml olive oil
• 1 tbsp forest honey
• approx. 280 ml water (lukewarm)

Put all the ingredients into the kneading machine together. Now knead the dough until it has a nice smooth consistency (approx. 10 min). Then place the dough into a large oiled bowl and cover with a tea towel. Leave to rest for around an hour. Then place the dough onto a floured work surface, divide into four equal pieces and shape into balls. Briefly cover again, then flatten, fold in from the left and right, shape into baguettes and cut. Finally, coat with the spelt flour. Place the loaves on a baking tray that has been brushed with oil. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for another 35 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 210°C. Bake the baguette for 15 to 17 minutes at 210°C. Make sure to place a bowl of hot water in the oven too, this creates great volume and allows the loaves to rise better. Once the time is up, very gently tap on the bottom of the bread. If it sounds “hollow”, it should be done. Leave to cool. TIP: You can also make this bread with 100g of finely sliced turkey ham and, of course, you can adjust the taste with different herbs and spices.


 

Tyrolean Nut Strudel

Slowly bring the milk to the boil in a pan, remove from the heat and mix with the sugar, vanilla sugar, honey, soaked raisins, nuts, a shot of rum and a little cinnamon and lemon peel until it forms a relatively solid mass. Leave to cool and then use as desired. Preheat the fan oven to 165 – 175°C. For the yeast dough, knead all the ingredients into a medium firm dough and leave to rest for a short time. Grease a baking tray with butter. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, spread the prepared filling onto two thirds of the dough and roll up. Place on the baking tray with the seam underneath, brush with egg and leave to rest until the egg has dried a little. Brush with egg again, prick with a fork several times and bake in the oven until light brown for approx. 35 – 40 minutes.

 

Anni’s Vanillekipferl – Secret Recipe:

Makes approx. 60, takes around 40 minutes (excluding cooling)

Ingredients:

• 280 g flour
• 210 g butter
• 100 g ground almonds
• 70 g sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 vanilla pod
• A pinch of salt

For decorating:

• 100g icing sugar
• 2 packets Vanilla sugar

Mix the flour with the ground almonds, sugar and salt. Add the vanilla pulp, pieces of butter and the egg yolk and knead together. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and leave in the fridge for around 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Take out a baking tray. Shape the dough into approx. two centimetre thick rolls. Divide into two centimetre long pieces and gently shape into Kipferl (crescents) (ideally with Christmas music playing in the background). Place the Kipferl on the baking tray and bake for around ten minutes on the middle shelf until golden brown. Combine the icing sugar with the vanilla sugar. Dust the warm Kipferl in the sugar mix and leave to cool on a cooling rack.


Tip: Make sure that the ground almonds are peeled. The Kipferl will then be especially fine and will also stay nice and light coloured.

Nerve Biscuits

Background: Our diet should be healthy and tasty and at the same time have a protective and invigorating effect on our mind and body. These biscuits are delicious and have a balancing effect on the mind.

Effect: These biscuits are said to have a strengthening effect on the nerves. Consuming the nerve biscuits purifies the senses, has a calming and balancing effect and creates a happy spirit. Cinnamon has a warming and relaxing effect, stabilises the circulatory system and has a positive influence on blood sugar levels. It helps with gastrointestinal complaints, has a disinfecting effect and makes you happy. Cloves have an antibacterial effect and encourage digestive activity. Nutmeg has an aphrodisiac effect, is antispasmodic and opens your heart. Almonds are known to reduce cholesterol. Spelt is easily digestible and has an alkaline effect on the body.

Put the flour into a large bowl or directly onto the work surface. Now distribute small pieces of soft butter onto it. Add the whole cane sugar, ground almonds, eggs and all of the spices and immediately mix or knead this mass into a dough. Leave the dough to rest for 30 minutes. Then roll it out until it is around 5 mm thick and cut it out into the shapes you want. Then put the biscuits onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and place on the middle shelf of an oven that has been preheated to 180°C. Leave the biscuits to bake for between 10 and 15 minutes. Keep a constant eye on the biscuits when baking for the first time. Depending on the size of your nerve biscuits, you should eat a maximum of 4 per day. Children should consume 1 biscuit a day.
