What you need:
Dough
- 1 batch Dough Mix, 1/2 bag
- 2 cups shredded mozerella
- 1 egg
Filling
- 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon, more or less to your liking
For the Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup allulose
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp rose water* optional
Directions:
- Prepare the simple syrup by combining the allulose, water and lemon juice in a small pot over medium heat. Stir every few minutes until allulose is completely dissolved and syrup thickens as it bubbles, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare one batch (1/2 the bag) of the Dough Mix as directed on package.
- Roll out dough on flat, nonstick surface (we like to use a silicon mat), with the palm of your hands into a rectangular shape about 1/4” thick. If using rolling pin, we recommend you place parchment paper on top of dough prior to rolling to avoid dough sticking.
- Prepare the filling in a bowl and spread it over the dough, careful to not tear it. Roll up dough tightly and cut into 8-12 equal sized rolls – use a very sharp knife or string to cut the roll. Begin in the center by cutting the roll in half, then cut each 1/4-1/2 into half and continue until you have 8-12 pieces. If using 8x8 square pan, cut into 16 smaller pieces to fit snuggly.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until evenly brown on top. Once the cinnamon rolls are removed from the oven pour the cool syrup onto the rolls. Optional to sprinkle with finely crushed pistachios.
- Allow the rolls to rest for 15 minutes to absorb the syrup.
- Serve and Enjoy!
