Ingredients

• 500 g wheat flour
• 250 ml plant-based milk (e.g. almond, soy or oat milk)
• 70 g sugar
• 1 packet dry yeast
• 50 g vegan margarine
• 1 pinch of salt
• 200 g plum jam or apricot jam
• 100 g ground poppy seeds
• 50 g powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar
• 2 tbsp vegan margarine (for melting)

Instructions

1. Gently warm the plant-based milk until it is lukewarm. Melt the vegan margarine in the warm milk.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour with the dry yeast, sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the warm milk-margarine mixture and knead everything into a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
3. Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it into about 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and place one tablespoon of plum jam in the center. Pull the edges over the filling and seal carefully so that the filling is completely enclosed.
4. Place the filled dough balls seam side down on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Let rise again for 15 minutes.
5. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and insert a steamer basket. Place the Germknödel in the steamer basket with enough space between them, cover the pot with a lid and steam the dumplings for about 20 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, mix the ground poppy seeds, powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. Melt the additional vegan margarine.
7. Remove the steamed Germknödel from the pot, brush with the melted margarine and generously sprinkle with the poppy seed-sugar mixture.
8. Serve warm and enjoy.
