Ingredients
- 3¼ teaspoon dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm fat-free milk
- ¼ cup warm water
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- ¼ cup honey
- 1½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour
Filling
- 2 cups dates
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ cup water
Directions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and warm water. Let stand until foamy—about 5 minutes.
- Stir in butter, honey, lemon juice, egg, and egg white until well combined.
- Add 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1½ cups whole wheat flour. Stir together until a soft dough forms.
- Turn out onto a floured surface. Slowly knead in the last ½ cup of all-purpose flour. Return back to the bowl.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until dough doubles in size.
- While dough is rising, prepare filling. In a food processor, blend together all the ingredients for the filling to form a paste. (If you’re having trouble spreading the filling, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to get to the right consistency.
- Once dough has risen, roll out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the filling out over the dough. Tightly roll the rectangle, starting with a long edge. Pinch the edges to create a seal.
- Cut the dough into 16 rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9x13” pan. Cover, then let rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool in pan.
