Healthy Honey-Nut Cinnamon Rolls

Mix the yeast & 1 tsp. of honey in the warm water and keep it aside for 10 minutes. Crush the walnuts and pistachio nuts and make a coarse powder or better cut it with knife into small pieces if you have time & patience!

Mix the cinnamon powder with 11/2 tbsp of Palm sugar in a small cup and keep it aside. Take the flour in a broad vessel and make a well in it. Add honey, oil, yogurt ad half tbsp. of Palm sugar into it. Combine the whole ingredients together and form a lump, it will be very sticky at the beginning stage. Keep kneading for 5 minutes using a little oil in your hand.

Put the dough over the greased dish with the nuts. Cover it with a lid and keep it to rise for about 1 hour.

Take out the risen dough and punch the air out from it, knead it lightly for 5 minutes and roll it into a flat rectangle of 1 cm. using your hands or a rolling pin. Brush the rolled out dough with butter and sprinkle the cinnamon & palm sugar mix over it evenly.

Roll the rectangle from one end to the other end and in the shape of a log. Secure the edges tightly and cut into 12 thick roundels. Arrange them on a greased baking sheet, cover and let it rise again for 1 hour or more till it doubles in size.

Well risen cinnamon roundels, mine took almost 2 hours to come to this size since I used wholewheat in the the recipe.

Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes at 200°C or till it is done.

Take out from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Remove the rolls from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container.

Savor the rolls as it is or sprinkle powder sugar and serve. Drizzle honey or Maple syrup over the rolls and indulge in.
