INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
WHOLE-WHEAT FLOUR:
- Whole-wheat flour provides fiber and a rich texture. To make softer rolls, use all-purpose flour instead.
PUMPKIN PUREE:
- Use pumpkin puree to add moisture, color, and beta-carotene. You can use homemade purée instead of canned pure pumpkin.
HONEY:
- Use honey to sweeten the dough organically. You can also use maple syrup.
OLIVE OIL:
- Use olive oil to offer unsaturated fats while keeping the dough wet. You can use avocado oil instead.
CINNAMON:
- Cinnamon adds warmth, sweetness, and antioxidants. Ceylon cinnamon is another choice.
GINGER:
- Grind ginger to provide warmth and taste. You can also use a small bit of freshly grated ginger.
WALNUTS:
- Walnuts provide crunch and healthful unsaturated fats. Alternatively, use pecans or omit them.
GREEK YOGURT:
- We incorporate the Greek yogurt to include extra protein in this coating. As a further choice, you might utilize Plain vegan yogurt.
BUTTER:
- Use butter to make a delicious cinnamon filling. Another alternative is to use coconut oil or plant-based butter.
YEAST:
- We utilize active dry yeast, which aids in rising the dough. Instant yeast can also be used according to the package guidelines.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Stir one tsp. of honey, warm milk, and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for some ten minutes.
- Include the salt, pumpkin purée, ginger, remaining honey, cinnamon, egg, flour, and olive oil.
- We knead the dough for almost eight minutes till smooth. Wrap and allow it to rise for almost sixty minutes.
- Mix the walnuts, softened butter, nutmeg, coconut sugar, ginger, and cinnamon.
- We shape the dough into a rectangle and spread the filling equally.
- Tightly roll the dough and cut it into twelve equal pieces.
- Put the rolls in a coated baking dish and allow them to rise for almost twenty minutes.
- Bake at 175°Celcius for almost twenty minutes till lightly golden.
- Whisk the lemon juice, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey to make the glaze.
- Distribute the glaze on the lightly cooled rolls and serve hot.
TIPS:
- We utilize pure pumpkin purée as another choice for pumpkin pie filling.
- Do not heat the milk too much, as extra heat will damage the yeast.
- Avoid including extra flour, as it will make the rolls dense.
- Cool the dough to rise perfectly for a soft texture.
- Do not bake for an extra time to maintain the moist texture of the rolls.
- Spread the Greek yogurt glaze after baking.
