Kringle

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup almond milk, heated
2-1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil

3 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil
1/2 cup almond meal
3 tablespoons sliced almonds
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 teaspoons cinnamon
a pinch of salt

2 teaspoons agave
1 teaspoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
1 tablespoon sugar
small handful of mini chocolate chips (optional)

Combine the yeast and sugar and pour lukewarm almond milk over it. Set aside for 10 minutes or so and then stir in the remaining dough ingredients. Cover and allow to rise for an hour.

Combine all filling ingredients and set aside.

Roll out the dough as thin as possible and spread the filling over it, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Roll the dough up and then cut down the center lengthwise to expose the layers inside. Braid them over each other and then pinch both ends together to shape into a circle.

Whisk the agave with the coconut oil and brush over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle with the sugar, sliced almonds, and chocolate chips. Allow to rise again for about half an hour.

Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.

Mallorca

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk or cream
2 teaspoons yeast
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
pinch of salt
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 vanilla bean

Bring eggs and butter to room temperature.

Combine milk, yeast, and a sprinkle of sugar. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, sift flour and sugar into the bowl. Add eggs, egg yolk, and salt and knead the dough for 5 minutes until it comes together. Add more milk or flour as needed. Cover and allow dough to rise 45 minutes to an hour, until double in size.

Roll out the dough onto a floured surface (about 20 inches). Spread some of the butter in an even layer over the dough. Fold the dough in half and roll out again. Repeat this again. Then do it one more time, without rolling out the dough, to obtain one long rectangle of dough.

Place the dough on parchment paper in a loose swirl pattern. Cover and let rise for 1-2 hours.

Bake 20-25 minutes at 350.

Combine powdered sugar with the vanilla beans. Sift over the pastry while still hot. Serve warm.
