Ingredients

Ingredients for the dough

250 grams of semi whole grain spelt flour

200 grams of whole grain spelt flour

100 grams of brown sugar

70 ml extra virgin olive oil

Almond milk

Vanilla powder

60 grams of yogurt (soy)

Ingredients for the filling

150 grams of pearled spelt

250 ml of milk (almond or soy)

200 grams of tofu

80 grams of brown sugar

Lemon zest

Candied orange and lemon peel

Cinnamon powder

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla powder

Orange flavor or orange flower essential oil

Dough

In a bowl, add the flours, the vanilla, the sugar, the yogurt, the oil and mix all these ingredients. Pour then the almond milk as much as it is needed to have a consistent dough, knead the dough. Form a ball and keep it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Filling

In a large pot cook the spelt in 375 grams of water for about 10 minutes, remove from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. Pour the milk and the grated lemon zest. Cook until the milk will be absorbed. In a bowl mix the tofu, the sugar, the cinnamon, the vanilla, the candied orange and lemon peel and the orange flavor or 3-4 drops of essential oil. Add the spelt cream and stir with a spoon.

Pastiera

Take the dough from the fridge and roll it out. Use it to cover a cake pan of 26 cm of diameter, cover also the walls. Save just a small part for the decoration. Fill the tart with the spelt cream. Roll out the small dough you saved and obtain strips 1,5 cm wide. Place the strips to form a grid on the surface of the sweet. Bake in conventional oven at 180° for 50 minutes or until the surface becomes golden. Serve!
