Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey substitute
- 0.75 cup Raisins
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
In another bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, olive oil, vanilla extract, and honey substitute.
Pour the wet mixture and the yeast mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Stir until a dough begins to form, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Fold in the raisins while kneading to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a log or roll. You can cut this log into smaller rolls if desired.
Place the roll(s) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the roll(s) with a damp cloth and let them rest for another 15 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack before serving.
