Walnut Chia Seed Cinnamon Soy Roll
Craving for cinnamon roll, so I decided to bake my own low sugar version cinnamon roll. It's simply much more healthier than the traditional cinnamon roll, and it is packed with nutrients for your heart and brain health from walnut, omega-3 from chia seeds and phytonutrients from soy and anti-oxidant benefit from cinnamon. So for you who are watching your weight yet crave for a satisfying cinnamon taste, try this at the comfort of your home.
Serve: 10 rolls
Difficulty: Not too tricky
Cooks in: 1h 30min
Ingredients:
3 cup bread flour
1/2 cup soy pulp (replace with bread flour if you don't have soy pulp)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1.5 tsp instant yeast
1/2 tsp himalayan pink salt
1 cup unsweetened soy milk (replace with milk if you like to)
1 egg
3 tbsp olive oil
Filling:
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp cinnamon powder
3 tbsp chia seed
3 tbsp walnut (chopped)
1 tspn sesame seed
Method: 1. Combine the flour, brown sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Mix in the soy pulp. Make a well in the centre. Add the egg (keep about 1 tbsp for egg wash), soy milk and olive oil. When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. 2. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest until it is double in size (about 30 minutes). 3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, chia seed, walnut and sesame seed for the filling, set aside.
4. When the dough is double in size, punch the dough down and roll it out onto a floured surface into a 15x9” rectangle. Mist the surface of the dough with water and dust generously with the cinnamon mixture (keep some for garnishing).Tightly roll the dough into a swiss roll form. Cut into 10 pieces and place them in a lightly greased 9x7" baking pan (cut side up). Cover with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
5. Before baking, brush some egg wash and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon mixture on top of the dough. 6. Bake in pre-heated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
