Whole weat threeking bread

Always on the sixth of January we "celebrate" the holy three kings from Bethlehem with a special formed round and mostly quite sweet bread. The bread looks like a party bread with one big bowl in the center surrounded by little ones. AND in one of these little balls hinds a little plastic king.

Traditional one likes this

The one who got the bowl with the king in it, will be the king on that day and can do what ever she/he wants. (well you know what I mean)...
This tradition is of course most liked by children - wearing a crown, being proud and directing everone around ;)

Been grown up, it's still a special day and it's always funny, cause everyone hopes to catch the king, some are pretending to find the king - it's like an exitement.

The last few years I havn't eaten from the bread as it isn't made vegan and the traditional one got dried grape berries in it, and is sprinkled with a lot of almond flakes and sugar. Now, not mine anymore.

This year I made my second vegan threeking bread, (my first have been a few years ago)- a different one - with no berries and almond and made with wholeweat instead of whileweat flour and with no sugar and butter in it. Instead of sprinkling it with sugar I took sesamseeds (you can really see them on the picture).

This threeking bread I will bring to work and let's see who will be the king, ;)

Wholeweat threeking bread

4 Persons
resting: 1 hour
baking: 30-40 min

You will need a round cake form, lightly oiled, a crown and a plastik king 

(if you don't have one, use a knob or something else, you won't get hurt if biting in it!!!!!!!)

Ingredients
500 g wholeweat flour
2 tsp. salt
1 (42g) fresh yeast
1 tsp. agave nectar
300 ml vegan milk (or halve water, halve milk, if you want less milk)
seeds to sprinkle on

Direction:
Weight the flour and mix with the salt. Resolve the yeast in the handwarm milk together with the agave nectar, add to the flour and knead till you got a smooth dought. Let it rest and rise covered on a warm place for about one hour. 

Preheat your oven up to 210 °C.

Meanwhile lightly oil out the baking dish. 

When the dough rised put on a floured place, cut pieces and form one big bowl and place in the center of your baking dish. From the rest form smaller bowls and place around the big one. Of course don't forget to hide a king in one of your bowls. Brush with some milk and sprinkle on the seeds (or sugar if you desire).

Place a heat-resist-water-filled-dish in your oven and bake the threeking bread on the middle rack of your oven for about 30-40 min. (Depends on your oven).

When done, take out and let it cool down before eating. 

Enjoy and maybe you will be the king for this time!
