3 Ingredient Apple Bread Rolls
These apple bread rolls are so soft and moist. They are easy to make and need just 3 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (253 g) whole wheat flour
- 1.5 tbsp (18 g) aluminum free baking powder
- 10.5 oz (298 g) unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Add flour and baking powder to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until evenly combined.
- Add in the applesauce. Use a spatula to mix in the applesauce until it is completely incorporated into the flour mixture. You may want to use your hands to knead the dough a little towards the end to make sure all the applesauce is mixed in. Your dough should feel very moist. You want the dough to be moist otherwise the bread will come out dry.
- Divide bread into 9 pieces. Roll one piece between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place onto prepared baking mat. Repeat with remaining dough pieces, spacing bread rolls 2 inches apart. I recommend washing your hands in between each ball to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
- Bake bread for about 25 minutes or until bread rolls look cooked and tops are lightly golden brown.
Notes
- The 10.5 oz of applesauce refers to the weight. If you don't have a scale, 10.5 oz is approximately 1 cup +3 tbsp (using US measurements).
- This recipe works best with whole wheat flour. I have not tested with gluten-free flour. If using white flour, you will need to reduce the amount of applesauce.
- The bread rolls have a light sweet finish from the applesauce. They are not meant to be sweet bread rolls so they are not that sweet. They can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite spread.
- Store any uneaten bread rolls in an airtight container in the fridge. I recommend reheating leftover rolls before serving.
- Make sure to use aluminum-free baking powder so there is no metallic taste in your bread.
- You want the dough to feel very moist. Because this bread is made with whole wheat flour, it needs a lot more moisture to keep the bread soft.
