ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
  • 1/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups white spelt flour
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup plant based milk
  • 1/4 cup dairy free chocolate
  • 1/4 water (if needed)

Method

  • Step 1

    Melt your coconut oil then let the oil cool down slightly and add the yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt. Stir though then set aside for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.

  • Step 2

    Once the yeast is fluffy add the flour (a little bit at a time) until a thick dough forms – you may need add a little bit of water to get the rich constancy. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for 1-2 minutes. Grease your bowl with a bit of oil and place the dough back in there. Cover with a tea towel and set aside to rest for an hour.

  • Step 3

    In a meantime pre heat your oven to 180 degrees and grease your baking tray with a little bit of coconut oil.

  • Step 4

    To make the chocolate tahini spread, melt your chocolate then add it to medium sized bowl along with the tahini, plant milk, cinnamon and coconut sugar. Mix to combine.

  • Step 5

    Once dough has been resting for an hour, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface – roll the dough into a rectangle (should be around 1cm thick.)

  • Step 6

    Spread 3/4 of the chocolate tahini mixture onto the dough and tightly roll into a cigar. Cut the dough into 8 even portions and place on the greased baking tray. Cook in the oven for around 20-25 minutes until golden. Once removed from the oven add the last of the chocolate tahini mixture and enjoy!
