Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp Instant yeast
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 180 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 50 g Butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 50 g Natural sweetener (such as erythritol)
- 1.5 tbsp Ground cinnamon
- 30 g Butter, softened
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Stir to mix well.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the almond milk until lukewarm. Remove from heat, then add the melted butter.
Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then add to the milk and butter mixture, stirring to combine.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing with a spatula until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough by hand for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix together the natural sweetener and ground cinnamon for the filling.
Once risen, punch the dough down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle approximately 30x25 cm.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and natural sweetener mixture evenly over the buttered dough, ensuring even coverage.
Starting from the long side, gently roll up the dough into a tight log. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces.
Place each piece, cut side up, in a lightly greased baking dish, leaving a bit of space between each scroll.
Cover the dish with a cloth and let the scrolls rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the risen scrolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with a mixture of additional sweetener and a few drops of almond milk, or enjoy as is!
