Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (Tbs) yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter or vegetable oil
- 1 Tbs ground flaxseed + 2 tsps water
- 2 tsps grated orange peel
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 4 cups wheat flour (plus a little more for the moment of expanding it)
For the filling:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 3 tsps grated orange peel
- 3-4 tsps of flour
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 tsp of orange juice or milk
Preparation
- Put the warm milk together with the sugar and the yeast in a container and let the yeast activate for 5 minutes.
- Mix the ground flaxseed with the water and let sit until it has the consistency of egg whites.
- When the yeast mixture is foamy, add the orange juice, the oil or butter (melted), the flaxseed soaked in water, the orange zest, the salt and mix.
- Add the liquid mixture to the flour that should be in a larger container. Form a dough that must be homogeneous, soft but not sticky to your hands. Add more flour if necessary.
- Knead the dough for 7 minutes until it is elastic and well formed. Put the dough back in the bowl and let it rest for an hour until it doubles in size.
- While the dough rises, mix the ingredients for the filling until it becomes a homogeneous paste.
- Once the dough has risen, take it out and expand it with a rolling pin, maintaining a rectangular shape. Expand the dough evenly until it is ½ inch thick.
- Spread the filling mixture on the entire surface of the dough and sprinkle flour over the entire mixture.
- Carefully roll up the dough with the filling inside making sure it is firm and tight but always keeping the round shape.
- Preheat the oven to 350º F.
- Using plastic string or dental floss, put it under the roll and cut the rolls by tightening the thread or tying it in such a way that they can be cut evenly and perfectly.
- In an oven-safe container, place the rolls, leaving a space of around 2cm between each one, on parchment paper to prevent them from sticking.
- Let the rolls rise again for one hour; cover them with a kitchen towel on top.
- Bake the rolls for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Don't let them cook too much.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing the sugar with the non-dairy milk or orange juice. Place it on top of the rolls once they are completely cool.
