Orange and cinnamon rolls

Servings 8 -9 rolls

Ingredients

For the dough

  • 500 grams whole spelt flour
  • 1 cube fresh yeast or about 40 grams dry yeast
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 150 ml lukewarm almond milk
  • 1 organic, range-free egg

For the filling

  • 100 grams coconut blossom sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • grated peel of 1 organic orange

Instructions

  1. Mix almond milk with honey and coconut oil and dissolve the yeast in it. In a large mixing bowl mix flour with the egg and yeast mixture. Knead for at least 5-10 minutes until you have a smooth dough. Cover the bowl and let rise for 2 hours until doubled in size. Knead dough on a floured surface and roll into a rectangle. Mix cinnamon and coconut blossom sugar. Brush the dough with coconut oil and then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly on top. Distribute the orange peel evenly on top. Starting with the long side roll up the dough into a long roll. Cut into 8-9 pieces with a sharp knife. Grease a baking dish with coconut oil and place the rolls inside with the cut side facing up. Cover and let rise again for 20-30 minutes.
  2. In the meantime preheat the oven to 190°C/350°F. Bake the rolls on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and enjoy them warm or cold.

  3. Tip: Rolls can be frozen before baking and baked when needed.
