Instructions

  • Dissolve yeast in 1 cup of warm water.

  • Pour the yeast mixture into your mixing bowl.
  • Add eggs and beat well.
  • Add salt, oil, carrot powder, and ginger and beat well.
  • Add vital wheat gluten.
  • Add 2 cups of the sprouted red fife wheat flour.
  • Mix well until all the flour has been incorporated. The dough will be sticky.
  • Add the remaining ยฝ cup of flour, 1 tbsp. at a time, fully incorporating it into the dough after each addition.
  • Stop adding the flour when the dough sticks together and is no longer sticky, but continues to be moist.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 90 minutes.
  • Punch down the dough and roll out onto lightly floured counter top, forming a rectangle.
  • Shave thin slices of cold butter off of a ยผ lb. block of butter.
  • Layer the sliced butter over the rectangle of dough.
  • Fold the dough in half.
  • Continue shaving slices of cold butter off the brick and spread it over the top of the dough.
  • Fold the dough in half again. Now the dough is folded into quarters.
  • Roll out the dough again into a thin layer and repeat the above until you run out of butter.
  • With the dough in quarters, cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. While resting, make the streusel topping.

Streusel Topping:

  • Toast whole hazelnuts in a frying pan with 1 tbsp. of coconut oil, until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Grind in a blender jar until coarse crumbs.
  • Mix in maple sugar and set aside.
  • Prepare a shallow baking dish by buttering the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with ยผ cup of the hazelnut-maple sugar mixture.
  • Roll the dough out as you would if you were making cinnamon buns.
  • Sprinkle ยผ of the maple sugar โ€“ hazelnut mixture on the rectangle of dough.
  • Roll it up jelly roll style.
  • Seal the edge by pinching it.
  • On a lightly floured counter, turn the dough so that the sealed side is down.
  • Slice the roll of dough into 1 ยฝ inch pieces.
  • Lay the pieces in the baking dish with the cut side down.
  • Cover with a cloth and let it rise for 1 hour, in a warm place.
  • Bake in a 400ยฐF oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, turn out of pan, and cool on a cooling rack.

Cream Cheese Icing:

  • While the butterhorns are cooling, prepare the cream cheese icing.
  • In a mixing bowl cream the softened cream cheese and softened butter together.
  • Add maple syrup and vanilla and continue mixing until it is light and fluffy.
  • Once the butterhorns are cool, spread the cream cheese frosting on them.
  • Sprinkle generously with the remaining maple sugar-hazelnut mixture.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

About half of the preparation time for this recipe is rest time for the yeast dough. This is a good recipe to work into the margins of an afternoon, as the hand’s-on time is split up, and only about an hour total.
