---------------------------DOUGH---------------------------
1 1/3 c Lukewarm water
1 ts Honey
3 c Whole wheat flour
--------------------------FILLING--------------------------
1/2 c Smooth natural peanut butter
1/4 c Honey
1/2 c Unsweetened applesauce
2 tb Cinnamon
2 tb Water
2/3 c Raisins
Combine the water, honey, and yeast in a large bowl.
Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add the flour 1
cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When
the dough becomes to stiff to mix, turn it out onto a
floured board and knead for 5 to 10 minutes until
smooth and elastic. Put it in a very lightly oiled
bowl, cover, and allow to rise for 1 hour. <If a very
light dough is desired, you may punch it down, cover,
and allow to rise another 40 to 45 minutes)
While the dough is rising, combine the peanut butter
and honey in a saucepan and mix over low heat until
easily blended (or warm in microwave until easily
blended). Beat in all the remaining ingredients except
the raisins.
Remove the risen dough from the bowl and knead about
ten times on a clean board. Roll out into a large
rectangle about 15" X 14". Spread with filling to 1/2"
of the edge. sprinkle raisins evenly over the filling.
Roll the rectangle into a log, starting at the 15-in
side, pinch the edges to seal, and slice into 1" thick
rounds. <They will be VERY gooey> Place on a nonstick
baking sheet, cover, and allow to rise for about 20
minutes, or until light. Bake in a preheated 350 F
oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
