Ingredients

For the base:
- 500 g flour (it may seem like a lot, but it's essential for achieving the perfect texture)
- 4 egg yolks
- 7 g dry yeast (about one packet)
- 150 ml lukewarm milk
- 50 g butter (melted)
- 50 ml oil
- 150 g sugar
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar (or 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract)

For the syrup:
- 150 g sugar
- 350 ml water
- 1 packet of vanilla
- 2 rum essences

For the jelly:
- 2 packets of jelly (preferably Dr. Oetker)
- 250 ml pomegranate juice (for intense color and delicious taste)
- 150 ml water
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 2 tablespoons sugar

For the filling:
- 500 ml whipped cream (you can use sweetened whipped cream or make it at home)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the Yeast:
Start by activating the yeast. In a small bowl, mix the yeast with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 50 ml of lukewarm milk, and 50 g of flour. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step is crucial for ensuring good rising of the dough.

2. Preparing the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the remaining flour (450 g) with the egg yolks, activated yeast, lukewarm milk with melted butter, and vanilla. Add 50 ml of oil and 150 g of sugar. Mix all the ingredients well, then knead the dough for about 10 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic.

3. First Rising:
Shape the dough into small balls and place them in savarin molds. Cover them with a clean towel and let them rise for 15 minutes in a warm place. This step will ensure a fluffy texture.

4. Baking:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the savarins for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden. Let them cool slightly before cutting off a cap.

5. Preparing the Syrup:
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, vanilla, and rum essences. Boil the mixture for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly. The warm syrup will soak perfectly into your savarins.

6. Assembling:
Once the savarins have cooled, cut off a cap and soak them with the warm syrup. Make sure to moisten them well so they absorb all the delicious flavors.

7. Preparing the Jelly:
Follow the instructions on the jelly packet. Mix the contents of the packets with sugar, pomegranate juice, and water, then boil for 1 minute. Add the strawberry jam and mix well.

8. Filling and Decorating:
Fill the savarins with whipped cream using a piping bag or spoon. Then, cover them with the prepared jelly. For a more attractive look, you can add some fresh fruits on top.

9. Serving:
Your savarins are now ready! You can serve them as dessert at a special meal or simply to treat your family. Their taste is simply delicious and they will surely be appreciated by everyone who tries them.

Helpful Tips

- Flour: Use quality flour as it influences the final texture of the savarins.
- Yeast: Ensure that the yeast is fresh and activated correctly; otherwise, the dough will not rise.
- Soaking: The syrup should be warm, not hot, to avoid breaking the dough.
- Jam Variation: You can experiment with different types of jam, such as peach or raspberry jam, to add a personal touch.

Delicious Combinations

Savarin with jelly and whipped cream pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or aromatic tea. For a more decadent experience, you can serve them with vanilla ice cream on the side.
