Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Warm water
- 1 packets Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cups Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Egg substitute
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Light butter
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the non-fat Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, egg substitute, and salt into the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, stirring until the dough begins to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
For the filling, combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 12x10 inches.
Brush the dough with the unsweetened applesauce, then evenly sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Carefully roll up the dough starting from the longer side to form a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces.
In a small saucepan, melt the light butter over low heat and whisk in the maple syrup to create a smooth mixture.
Pour this caramel mixture evenly into a baking dish.
Arrange the sliced rolls in the baking dish, cut-side up.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and cover the rolls with a cloth, allowing them to rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Let the rolls cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before serving warm. Enjoy your low-fat homemade caramel rolls!
