Description

Poppy seeds are purely for decoration; you can skip them if you prefer. I used them to decorate the centers of sliced oranges.

Ingredients

Butter - 3.5 oz
Egg white - 1 piece
Wheat Flour - 7.1 oz
Sugar - 7.1 oz
Orange zest - 1 piece
Baking Powder - ½ teaspoon
Coconut flakes - 1.8 oz
Liquid dark chocolate - 1 piece
Poppy seed paste - 1.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Soften the butter, add 50 g of sugar, 2 egg yolks, 200 g of sifted flour, and baking powder, along with a broken piece of chocolate. Knead the dough, shape it into a ball, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare the meringue. Whip 2 egg whites with 100 g of sugar until stiff peaks form.

Step 3

Roll out the dough in a greased pan (I initially prepared it in a Panasonic 18 multicooker), or line the pan with parchment paper. Create edges, pour in the meringue, and top with sliced orange without the peel. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and poppy seeds for decoration. Bake for 1 hour at 356°F (based on the multicooker).
