Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup warm milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- extra flour for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix warm milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 12x18 inches.
Brush the rectangle of dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
In a small bowl, mix granulated erythritol and cinnamon.
Sprinkle the erythritol and cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Fold the dough in half lengthwise and cut into 1-inch wide strips.
Twist each strip a few times and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the twists cool on a wire rack before serving.
