Preparation

Prepare the Tazo Chai Pastry Cream

Prepare the Dough
- In a small mixing bowl place the yeast, 60 ml warm water and a pinch of sugar and let stand for 3-5 minutes until foams.
- In a big mixing bowl place 315 grams flour, create a hole in the middle of the pile and add the yeast mixture mixing slowly. Add the warm milk, yogurt, Tazo® Concentrate Classic Chai Latte, sugar and vanilla extract and mix all well (can be done in a food processor) than add the salt and the lemon zest and mix it in.
- Add the yolks and the margarine and the rest of the flour (60 gram) as needed so dough would not be too sticky but not too dry as well. Transfer to an oiled, big mixing bowl and let rise for an hour and a half, until doubles in volume.
- Punch the dough lightly and transfer to a lightly floured working surface. With a rolling pin roll the dough to be 2/3 cm thick and then cut circles using a cup or a cookie cutter. Place the dough circles on a floured tray and let rise again for about 45 minutes in a warm place.
