Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 cups Spelt flour
  • 2 & 1/4 tsp Dry Yeast
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 Cup Warm Milk (100-110F)
  • 1/2 tbsp Melted Butter
  • 1-2 tsp Pyure (or preferred sweetener)

Filling

  • 3-5 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tbsp Melted Butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Coat a 9" springform pan with coconut spray, or oil.
  • Whisk together 1 cup of Spelt flour with the yeast, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • In another medium sized bowl, mix the milk, butter and Pyure. Add this mixture to the flour mixture, then slowly add the rest of the spelt flour 2 tablespoons at a time.
  • Mix until the dough pulls away from the edge of the bowl. (I used our ninja, so it didn't take too long.)
  • Knead the dough for 3-5 minutes, or until the dough springs back when you push on it gently with your finger.
  • Let it sit and prepare the filling.
  • Mix the maple syrup, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. (Butter comes in a little bit, no worries...I didn't forget it!)
  • On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 10x16" rectangle. Brush the melted butter around the border in a 1 inch width, then brush the syrup/cinnamon mixture all over the rest of the dough in the middle.
  • Roll the dough into a log, starting from the longest side. Pinch the ends to seal.
  • Cut it into 12 pieces with floss or a nice sharp serrated knife.
  • Place them all in the springform pan and bake for the 17-20 minutes. You can bake them longer if you want them browned, but it may dry them out.
  • Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then enjoy.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • I did make a cream cheese frosting for it, but I wasn't super impressed with it. If you'd like the recipe for it though, comment!!
