Finally i baked today Eggless version of cinnamon rolls...I prepared it as a healthy version with whole wheat flour without preparing completely with all purpose flour, i decreased the quantity of all purpose flour and increased the quantity of whole wheat flour..To receive benefit from the wholesomeness of wheat it is important to choose wheat products made from whole wheat flour rather than those that are refined and stripped of their natural goodness. Whole grains are a rich source of magnesium, a mineral that acts as a co-factor for more than 300 enzymes, including enzymes involved in the body's use of glucose and insulin secretion..whole wheat flour is not the main ingredients of baked goods, as it adds a certain heaviness which prevents them from rising as well as white flour, this is the reason i have added less quantity of all purpose flour in this cinnamon rolls..Coming to this cinnamon rolls its a eggless version but not the vegan, since i used melted butter to the dough which turns this cinnamon rolls too delicious...We enjoyed having this cinnamon rolls for our evening snacks...Yummy cinnamon rolls goes straight to Madhuram's Whole Grain Eggless Baking Event (Wheat) and to Susan's Yeastspotting hosted by Nick of Imafoodblog...

ReplyDeleteRolls look delicious. I like the smell of cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteHave seen these rolls in so many blogs..Your eggless version looks too good. Must definitely try it now.
ReplyDeleteMy son loves cinnamon rolls, and I am so glad to have this healthy version!
ReplyDeletewow priya looks greatthat too egg less superb.
ReplyDeleteI think I should invite myself to your home.When is the next flight to Paris.. these are my favourite and making them with whole wheat is perfect.Perfectly turned out :P
ReplyDeleteDelicious rolls. Eggless and with whole wheat.. what more to ask for ? Looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteI learned a great trick for slicing this from my blogging idol, Joe of joepastry.com. Instead of using a knife, loop some dental floss around the "loaf" and then pull it taut - it slices them perfectly with no smooshing at all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for submitting to Yeastspotting!
I love your picture. The rolls look so pretty and delicate.
ReplyDeleteI love Cinnamon and I love whole wheat! Sounds like the perfect recipe for me! They look so delicious, I think I have to make them very soon!
ReplyDeletePriya, I dont mean to be negative.. but this recipe really did not work for me..
ReplyDeleteFirst, the dough was really sticky.. which meant that it did not roll well.. so we used flour to pull it together.. coz of that the rolls came out with flour dustings on it..
Secondly, the rolls were really bitter.. I don't know if they are generally supposed to have less sugar (to be healthy) but the lack of sugar in the recipe was making me doubt this from the beginning..
Lastly, the dough, and the roll smelt funny.. it had a rawish (yeast-y?) smell to it..
I am not listing these to berate the recipe, but am just looking for fixes, since I really want to make these (my bhabhi loves cinnamon rolls so..) Also, I followed the recipe to the T..
Do let me know...
Hi Dream Catcher...thanks for ur comments..wat made me surprised is while kneading the dough u always need to be careful..While kneading,u have to knead the dough by adding little by little the foaming yeast..i think u might have added completely the yeast,thats the reason u got a sticky dough and bitter and coming to the bitterness, i didnt get my rolls bitter since the 2tbsp of brown packed sugar i used for rolling my rolls got melted while baking and turned the rolls very much sweet..mine smelled very much flavourful and the smell of the yeast was completely masked by the cinnamon smell..Wish urs might have turn better next time..Hope this helps!!
ReplyDeleteI landed on your site searching for a cinnamon roll recipe that too eggless..glad i found it.
ReplyDeletegreat recipe..love the flavour of cinnamons
ReplyDeleteI tried this today, turned out amazing..added a little more sugar though ( sweet tooth !! )..also I think I baked it longer..so it had slightly hard feel to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe.
