Wine Tip
Dornfelder, sweet, 2012
Aromas of forest fruits and elderberries play gently on the taste buds. The slight sweetness of the cranberry is echoed by this full-bodied red wine.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C/ 390°F. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, soy milk, cranberries, pistachios and a pinch of salt in a stand mixer with paddle attachment and process until a dough comes together.

Step 2
Next, roll the dough into a log. Press the dough tightly together, as it can be quite crumbly due to the cranberries and pistachios.
Step 3
Transfer the log onto a lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/ 390°F for approx. 20 – 30 min. until golden. Allow to cool for 30 min.
