Vegan Cocoa and Walnut Rolls
An indulgent and flavourful dessert for breakfast or for your guests, trust me, it's worth the trouble ;)
Ingredients
For the dough
- 400 g flour I used white flour this time, this works the best with this recipe
- 2 tbsp ground chia seeds + 6 tbsp of water (I used this instead of eggs)
- 20 g fresh yeast
- 40 g vegan butter/margarine
- 40 g sugar
- 2,5 dl lukewarm almond milk
For the filling
- 140 g sugar
- 100 g vegan butter or margarine
- 150-200 g chopped walnuts
- 50 g cocoa powder
Instructions
- The first step is to make the dough. For this put the fresh yeast in the lukewarm almond (or another plant) milk, and wait until it gets a little bit fluffy.
- After this mix the dough ingredients in a large bowl. Knead well with your hands.
- Put the dough aside for 45 minutes on room temperature.
- Make the filling, mix all ingredients in a smaller bowl.
- Then roll out the pastry to a thin rectangle shape, and spread with the filling.
- As a next step, roll up the pastry.
- Then grease a baking sheet or a glass tray with some vegan butter, and cut the roll into 2-3 cm pieces.
- Sprinkle some plant milk on top. Then set aside for 30 minutes.
- After 15 minutes you can preheat the oven (180 Celsius).
- Bake them about 20 minutes until they become golden.
- Enjoy on its own or with vanilla custard!
