Yeast Dumplings

5 / 5 (1 reviews)

Steamed yeast dumplings (also known as Dampfnudel in Germany or Germknödel in Austria). These delicious yeast rolls are filled with plum jam, topped with poppy seeds and vanilla sauce. Great dessert or breakfasst which is vegan, gluten-free, and easy to make!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine lukewarm plant-based milk (should not exceed 105 degrees F/40 degrees C), yeast, and 1/2 tbsp sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to proof the yeast. If it get's frothy your yeast is fine. If not, your yeast is most likely old and cannot be used.

  2. In a big bowl, combine all dry "dough ingredients" (flour, psyllium husk powder, sugar) and mix with a whisk. Once the yeast has proofed add the yeast mixture.

  3. Add the soft vegan butter as well and knead the dough with your hands. It might appear too wet at first (depends on which flour mixture you used) but the dough consistency will be fine after a few minutes and should look like this:

  4. If the dough is too dry though, add a little bit more plant-based milk. If it appears too wet, add more flour. Put cling foil on top of the bowl (you don't want the dough to dry out) and let it rise for about 30-60 minutes. After that, it should have risen quite a bit:

  5. Divide the dough into 8-9 parts (90-100 grams each) and fill each dough ball with plum jam (or jam/jelly of choice).

Chef's Notes

NotesI used this gluten-free flour mixture:

300 grams rice flour (equal amounts of brown rice flour and white rice flour)
200 grams starch (equal amounts of cornstarch and tapioca starch/flour)
You can use 2 1/4 tsp of dry instant yeast instead of fresh yeast

 
Recipe vanilla sauce:

1 cup plant-based milk
3-4 tsp cornstarch
3 tbsp Erythritol (or regular sugar)
1 tsp vanilla extract (or 1/2 vanilla bean)

 
Bring all ingredients in a saucepan to a boil and let simmer for a few minutes.
 
The steamed yeast dumplings taste best when you serve them immediately. You can store leftovers in the fridge (covered). They will become a little bit dry the next day (which is normal because of the gluten-free flour) but you can simply steam them again for 3-4 minutes with a tiny bit of water, and they will be soft again.
