THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

🔅 All ovens bake a bit differently, so keep an eye on your bake and adjust the time/temperature if needed.
🔅 Everyone’s taste is unique — feel free to tweak sweetener, salt, or spices to make it just right for you.
🔅 Different ingredient brands can absorb moisture differently, so your texture may vary slightly.
🔅 The base recipes yield smaller batches, as the high fibre content makes these bakes naturally more filling. A smaller portion is often enough to feel satisfied — balance is key for the best experience.
🔅 High-fibre flours behave differently from traditional or other gluten-free flours. They absorb much more liquid and usually require a longer baking time. Don’t worry if the dough or batter feels wet — that’s completely normal. It’s also important to let your bake cool for 2–3 hours after coming out of the oven, as high-fibre flours continue to absorb moisture while cooling. Cutting or serving too early can make the inside feel wet.

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the eggs, melted butter, water, sweetener, salt, (baking powder).
Add Corebake and knead into a smooth dough.
Remove from the bowl and knead on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes.
Combine the filling ingredients. If it is too thick to spread, add 1-2 tablespoon liquid.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, around 25x35 cm large.
Spread the filling evenly with a spatula.
Heat the oven to 165°C.
From the long side, roll the dough from one side to the other.
Cut into equal pieces, around 2 cm each.
Place the cacao rolls equally spaced on a baking tray.
Place the rolls in the heated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes until the tops are lightly golden brown.
When done, remove from the oven and cool and allow it to cool completely - for about an hour or so.
