    • 3 ounces of chocolate
    • 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of light cream

    • 1 ounce of butter
    • 0.5 ounces of cocoa
    Preparation Steps

    Layering the Biscuits
    • Begin by placing a layer of sugar-free biscuits in a 16x16cm square glass baking dish. This will serve as the base of your dessert. Set the dish aside while you prepare the creamy filling.
    Making the Creamy Filling
    • In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks and stevia sweetener (or sugar). Whisk until smooth, then add the corn starch and milk. Stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, which should take about 1-2 minutes. Next, add the butter to the mixture, allowing it to melt completely. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat.
      Adding the Cocoa Layer

To the remaining creamy filling, add the cocoa powder and mix well. Pour this cocoa mixture over the second layer of biscuits, spreading it evenly across the dish.
      Garnishing with Chocolate Cream
      • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate until melted. Stir in the light cream until smooth, creating a rich chocolate cream. Pour this chocolate cream over the cocoa layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the surface of the dessert.
      Chilling the Dessert
      • Place the prepared dessert in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together, resulting in a perfectly indulgent treat.
      Serving Suggestions
      • Once chilled, remove the dessert from the refrigerator and serve it to your eager guests. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this dessert is sure to impress with its decadent layers and rich flavors.

This recipe is perfect for those who want to indulge their sweet tooth while maintaining a wholesome diet.

     

     

    Ingredients

    1 cup of Oats (approximately 130 g): Oats are rich in fiber and provide a hearty base for our pie.

    1 cup of natural yogurt (250 ml): Natural yogurt adds creaminess and a tangy flavor to the pie.

    2 units of Egg: Eggs act as a binding agent and contribute to the pie’s structure.

    2 tablespoons of honey or syrup (about 50 g): Sweeten your pie naturally with honey or syrup for that irresistible taste.

    Walnuts (amount to taste to decorate): Walnuts will be used to decorate and add a delightful crunch to your pie.

    Procedure

    Prepare the Oat and Yogurt Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the oats and natural yogurt, allowing them to rest together for about 5 minutes. This will help soften the oats and create a creamy base.Add the Eggs and Sweetener

    Next, add the eggs and your chosen sweetener (honey or syrup) to the oat and yogurt mixture. Ensure thorough mixing to incorporate all the ingredients.

     

    Grate the Carrots

    Finely grate the carrots and add them to the mixture. Carrots bring a natural sweetness and a pop of color to the pie.

     

    Peel and Grate the Apples

    Peel and grate the apples, then add them to the mixture. Apples contribute moisture and a fruity flavor to our pie.

     

    Pour the Mixture into a Mold

    Grease a pie mold or line it with parchment paper. Pour the prepared mixture into the mold, spreading it evenly.

     

    Decorate with Walnuts

    To add an extra layer of flavor and texture, sprinkle some walnuts on top of the pie. This will create a delightful crunch when you bite into it.

     

    Bake to Perfection

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the pie for approximately 40 to 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the pie comes out clean.

     

    Let It Cool

    Allow the pie to cool before serving. This will ensure that it sets properly and is easier to slice.

      Instructions

      1. Mix the Dough
      1. Combine Dry Ingredients:
        • In a large mixing bowl, combine 600g (21 oz) of wheat flour, 14g (0.5 oz) of dry yeast (or 2g for overnight fermentation), and 12g (0.4 oz) of salt.
      2. Add Wet Ingredients:
        • Add 400ml (13.5 fl. oz) of lukewarm water and 100g (3.5 oz) of natural yogurt to the dry ingredients.
        • Mix until a sticky dough forms. The dough should be well combined but not overmixed.
      3. Overnight Fermentation (Optional):
        • If using the overnight method, cover the dough with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a cool place for 10-12 hours.

      2. Prepare the Dough

      1. Release Air:
        • After the initial rise, whether immediate or overnight, punch down the dough to release any trapped air.
      2. Stretch and Fold:
        • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently stretch and fold it several times to build strength. This step is crucial, especially if you used a food processor to mix the dough.

      3. Shape the Dough

      1. Shape and Transfer:
        • Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased 25 cm (10 inches) baking pan.
        • Cover it with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30-60 minutes until it has visibly puffed up.

      4. Bake the Bread

      1. Cold Oven Method:
        • Place the loaf into a cold oven—do not preheat.
        • Set the oven to 200°C (390°F) with top/bottom heat.
        • Bake the bread for 50-55 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

      5. Cool and Serve

      1. Cooling:
        • Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
      2. Serve:
        • Slice and enjoy the fresh, soft yogurt bread as a side with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.

      Notes

      • Yeast: For overnight fermentation, only use 2g (0.07 oz) of dry yeast and allow the dough to rise for 10-12 hours.
      • Flour Variations: Different flours absorb liquids differently, so adjust the water and yogurt as needed. Add liquid gradually to achieve the right dough consistency.
      • Rising Time: Rising times may vary based on room temperature and yeast activity. Allow the dough to double in size during the rising periods.
      • Stretching and Folding: This technique helps develop gluten in the dough, improving the bread’s structure and texture.
        This 3-Minute Yogurt Bread is a quick and easy way to enjoy homemade bread without the need for kneading or shaping. Whether you opt for the same-day method or the slow overnight fermentation, you’ll end up with a delicious, soft loaf that’s perfect for an
