Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 40 minutes

Mix the flour with the dry yeast and salt. Combine the soy milk, margarine, applesauce, and coconut blossom sugar in a pan and heat gently. Caution: Do not boil, heat to lukewarm only. Add the liquid to the flour mixture and knead into a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for at least 30 minutes. For the plum jam, cut the soft plums into small pieces. Place in a pan, mix with the orange juice, cinnamon, and rum, and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, as the plum jam burns easily. After half an hour, form the dough into a log and divide it into four pieces. Flatten the pieces of dough, add a little plum jam to the center, and seal tightly into a ball. It is important that the yeast dumplings are well sealed and that the plum jam does not leak out during cooking. Place the yeast dumplings seam-side down on a floured baking sheet, cover with a tea towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Steaming: Place the yeast dumplings in the steamer’s steaming container and steam for about 10 minutes. Pot-style cooking: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully place the dumplings seam-side up in the hot water, cover, and cook for about eight minutes. Then turn the dumplings over and cook for another seven minutes. Pierce the finished yeast dumplings a few times with a toothpick to prevent them from collapsing. To serve, sprinkle with melted margarine and a little poppy seed and sugar mixture. Tip: The yeast dumplings are also delicious with vanilla sauce.
