Sfințișori – Very Low Calories

Ingredients

• 30 g — buckwheat flour
• 120 g — whole wheat flour
• 10 ml — palm oil
• 1 tbsp — orange zest
• 10 ml — vanilla extract
• 1 pinch — fine salt
• 1 level tsp — dry yeast
• 20 g — solid sweetener of choice
• a few tbsp — water
• 25 g — walnuts (topping)
• 3 tbsp (60ml) — agave syrup (topping)

Preparation

1. I prepared the starter by mixing the sweetener with the yeast and a tablespoon of whole wheat flour, then left it to hydrate for about 15–20 minutes.
2. I then added the remaining flour to the starter, along with a pinch of salt, the grated orange zest, and the vanilla extract in which I had dissolved the rest of the sweetener, plus enough water to get a non-sticky dough.
3. I baked the sfințișori at 180°C until they turned a lovely golden colour!
4. I brushed them with agave syrup and then rolled them in crushed walnuts.
