Instructions
- In a bowl add yeast in lukewarm soy milk and let the yeast dissolve. The add egg, oil, spices, sugar and mix together.
- Add all of the kamut flour and mix it into the dough. Now add a little white all purpose flour at the time until you reach a perfect dough. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes. Place it back in the bowl, cover it with a cloth and let it sit for 1-1 ½ hour, preferable a warm place.
- Make the date-remonce by mashing and mixing the dates, coconut oil/butter and honey well together using a fork.
- On a big flour covered surface, role out the dough into a rectangular shape about 1/2-1 cm thick. Spread all of date-remonce on to the dough, in an even layer. Then cover the surface with thinly sliced apple boats (very thin), and top with grated marzipan and 2 Tbsp cinnamon. Starting at long side, tightly roll up. Use a knife to cut it out into 16-18 pieces (2-3 cm thickness).
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper and place all of the buns together, it is okay that they touch each other. Heat the oven to 375 F °/175 C °. In the mean time let the buns rise for 30 min and afterwards bake them in the oven for 15-17 min.
- While the buns are baking, you can make the chocolate frosting. You simply heat the milk in a pot and when close to boiling you add the chocolate little of the time until it is thick and creamy. Let cool a bit and add to the cake when it is done and have cooled down.
