Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 3 large Eggs
• 60 milliliters Almond milk
• 80 grams Coconut oil, melted
• 250 milliliters Water
• 100 milliliters Dark rum
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Apricot jam

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Stir in the instant yeast.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, almond milk, and melted coconut oil until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, divide it into 6 equal portions and shape each piece into a ball.

Step 9

Place each ball into a muffin tray and let rise for another 20 minutes.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 11

While the baba is baking, prepare the rum syrup by boiling water and sugar together in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.

Step 12

Remove from heat and stir in dark rum and vanilla extract.

Step 13

Once the baba is baked, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 14

Dip each baba into the warm rum syrup, ensuring they are evenly soaked.

Step 15

Brush the top of each baba with heated apricot jam for a glossy finish.

Step 16

Serve the babas with additional syrup drizzled over, if desired.
