Sweet cinnamon braid
The cinnamon braid for Sunday breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rice flour (240 g / 8½ oz)
- 1 cup sweet cassava starch, polvilho doce (120 g / 4 oz)
- ½ cup almond flour (50 g / 1¾ oz)
- ¼ cup white or brown sugar (50 g / 1¾ oz) — no added sugar: ½ cup erythritol (80 g)
- 2 tbsp psyllium husk powder (20 g / ¾ oz)
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast (10 g)
- 1 tsp salt (6 g)
- 3 eggs (150 g / 5½ oz)
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil (55 g / 2 oz)
- 1 cup warm almond milk (240 g / 8½ oz)
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil (28 g / 1 oz) — for the filling
- 2 tbsp white or brown sugar (24 g / ¾ oz) — for the filling; no added sugar: 3 tbsp erythritol (30 g)
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (8 g) — for the filling
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
Method
- Activate the yeast in the warm almond milk with 1 tbsp of the sugar. For the no-added-sugar version, activate it in the warm almond milk alone; all the erythritol goes in with the dry ingredients.
- Mix the dry ingredients: the rice flour, almond flour, the rest of the sugar (or all the erythritol), the cassava starch, the psyllium and the salt.
The full method (9 steps), Rico's tip, the Thermomix® or similar version, the variations and storage are in the ebook “Thermomix® & Co.”. The English edition is coming soon.
