["For the dough:
-
2
In a small bowl add the ground flax meal and water. Set aside. Heat almond milk for about a minute in the microwave.
-
3
In the bowl of the stand mixer, with the dough hook attached, add in the yeast, warmed milk and sugar. Let this sit and let the yeast proof, about 5 minutes. Add the coconut oil, flax seed 'egg', salt and whole wheat flour. Mix to combine.
-
4
Add in the all purpose flour 1/4 cup at a time, letting the flour mix in before adding in the next 1/4 cup. The dough should be soft, come away from the sides, but not be sticky. This should take about 5-8 minutes.
-
5
Form the dough into a ball and place back in the mixing bowl, brush with some extra coconut oil and allow to rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.", "For the filling:
-
6
In a small saucepan add the water, chopped dates, and salt. Bring this to a boil and reduce to a simmer until the dates soften, (mashing as you go) about 10 - 15 minutes. The mixture will start to thicken slightly.
-
7
Remove this from the heat and stir in the butter, orange zest and cinnamon.
-
8
Take the dough ball and roll it out to a rectangle shape of roughly 8 X 12"" rectangle. Spread on the date mixture, leaving about an inch border on the edges. Spread the mixture fairly thin (it is thick but has a tendency to ooze a bit.)
-
9
Roll the edge closest to you and roll away, forming a log. Tuck the ends of the log under and be sure to pinch the seam running along the length of the dough.
-
10
Cut the rolls into 8 equal pieces - I cut the log in half, cut those sections in half, and cut again.
-
11
Put the rolls in a lightly oiled pan, cover with wrap and put in the refrigerator to rise overnight. Or let the rolls rise, covered with a towel, for about an hour before baking.", "When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350*. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. Let the rolls cool slightly before icing. Enjoy!"]
