Kneading yeast dough the easy way!
Are you also the type of person who doesn’t like kneading dough too much? I have to admit that I personally always hesitate a bit when I have to knead a dough. Once I’ve started, it usually becomes fun eventually, and the kneading action is a nice little workout for the muscles of the hands and arms. But on those days where I can’t overcome my hesitation and/or need to make something fast, I’m super glad to have my Mouli take on all the kneading for me. (Mouli is my food processor with cooking function, the Moulinex i-Companion xl.) I simply put all ingredients in the pot, select the right settings (as explained in the recipe), and my Mouli does the rest. First it kneads, stops on its own, and even creates the perfect temperature for the yeast dough to rise in the pot. Isn’t that genius!? Have you ever had the pleasure to work with an amazing food processor with cooking function like this? Feel free to share your experiences and questions with me in the comment section below! I’m excited to hear from you.
My most popular recipe
The most visited recipe on my blog is the following one for apple-cinnamon rolls which I created at the very beginning of my blogging career: I’m really sorry to say that I didn’t get around to translate it yet. But maybe your browser is smart enough to automatically translate it to your language. If it works let me know. I’m really curious :D) .
The special thing about it is that it’s a very fast recipe, since you just skip the step of letting the dough rise, respectively, letting the dough rise in the oven at 50°C before upping up the temperature and baking them.

Vegan Apple Cinnamon Rolls with Cardamom
Ingredients
For the dough
- 500 g flour 300g white spelt flour 300g, 200g whole grain spelt flour
- 22 g fresh yeast (alternatively use dried yeast)
- 1-2 Tbsp coconut sugar alternatively whole cane sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 60 g coconut oil hard, not liquid
- 2,5 dl oat milk alternatively rice or soy-rice drink
For the stuffing:
- 2 big apples approx. 450g
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 2-3 tsp cardamom powder
- optionally: 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 80 g hazel nuts ground (alternatively other ground nuts)
Instructions
- First slightly heat the oat milk. It should be just warm enough for you to be able to put in your finger for a few seconds without it getting uncomfortably hot.Then mix with the fresh yeast and add the coconut blossom sugar. Now let sit for 10 min.
- Add spelled flour, salt and solid coconut oil and knead to a dough. Ideally you let a food processor help you with this. Then, let sit in a warm place for 40 mins.
- After the dough has risen, pre-heat the oven to 180°C.Now grate the apples for the stuffing.Then combine with the coconut sugar, optionally ginger powder, cinnamon- and cardamom powder.
- Halve the dough and roll out the first half on a floured surface to a 1cm thick square. First add half of the hazel nuts, then half of the stuffing. Roll up sideways and cut into 5cm thick snails. Place them into a baking form (fatted with coconut oil). Repeat the same steps with the other half of the dough.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 mins.
- Before serving, put powdered sugar from Xylit or Erythrit, agave syrup or rice syrup on top.
