Ingredients
- For the Baba:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup milk, lukewarm
- For the Rum Syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Then add the softened butter and eggs to the bowl. Mix well.
- Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a smooth dough forms. If necessary, knead briefly on a floured surface until elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into individual molds or a bundt pan.
- Let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, then bake it in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- For the syrup, combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Then remove from heat and stir in the rum and vanilla extract.
- Once the Babas are done baking, immediately soak them in the warm rum syrup for about 10 minutes, allowing them to absorb all the delicious flavors.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy this delightful dessert!
Now you have everything you need to create your very own Rum Baba! Enjoy the sweet, indulgent experience and share this wonderful treat with those you love. Happy baking!
