Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Honey substitute
• 0.75 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, olive oil, vanilla extract, and honey substitute.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture and the yeast mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

Step 5

Stir until a dough begins to form, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins while kneading to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a log or roll. You can cut this log into smaller rolls if desired.

Step 10

Place the roll(s) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

Cover the roll(s) with a damp cloth and let them rest for another 15 minutes.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 13

Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack before serving.
