GLUTEN NOTE: This is one of the few recipes in this cookbook that contains gluten (from

the spelt flour) I have included this recipe because it is an interesting pastry but simply can

not be made without gluten because the pastry needs to be a yeasted bread to achieve the

desired effect Yeasted breads are difficult to make without a glutinous flour This recipe is

not suitable for people who want to or need to avoid gluten

A fast and easy way to grind poppy seeds is in a coffee grinder

A dessert that contains a significant amount of calcium and contains no dairy products

also lots of iron)

FILLING

knife) Combine soy milk brown rice syrup and maple syrup Add this liquid mixture along with the yeast

mixture to the flour Knead for minutes adding liquid (water or soy milk) as needed (if the dough gets too dry/

stiff) Let dough rise until doubled (about hours)

While dough is rising prepare filling by combining all filing ingredients except frozen raspberries in a sauce pan

and cooking on low for about minutes Turn off heat and add frozen raspberries Mix to thaw raspberries in

hot filling Let cool

the dough Cut outer part of dough on degree angles about an inch apart on both side of the filling Fold
