Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Honey
- 80 milliliters Water
- 50 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (dairy-free)
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, honey, and water. Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add the vegetable oil and almond extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Divide the dough into two portions. Roll each portion into a log about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove and let them cool slightly.
Slice the logs diagonally into pieces about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) thick. Return the slices to the baking sheet, cut-side up.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes until firm. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the glaze, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in a microwave in short bursts, stirring each time.
Once melted, add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Dip each Magenbrot piece in the chocolate glaze, coating one side, and place on a wire rack to set.
Once the glaze has set completely, the Magenbrot is ready to serve or store in an airtight container.
