Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently, and let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the unsweetened applesauce, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, mixing in between until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to a floured surface.

Step 8

Roll the dough out into a rectangle shape, approximately 9x12 inches.

Step 9

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the dough.

Step 10

Starting from one of the short edges, tightly roll the dough into a loaf.

Step 11

Place the rolled dough into a greased or parchment-lined 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 12

Brush the top of the dough with unsweetened almond milk to add a nice glaze.

Step 13

Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 15 minutes until the loaf has risen just above the edge of the pan.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 15

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
