Today in the bread-baking blog we’re featuring Fruit-Filled Pinwheels, the second Holiday bread made with Healthy Bread in Five Minutes Whole Grain Challah dough. We featured Whole Wheat Challah last time.
These delicious Fruit-Filled Pinwheels are a healthier alternative to regular pastries. The dough, made with a large percentage of whole wheat flour, is very flavorful with the addition of dried cranberries and orange zest. To enhance the whole experience, the pinwheels are filled with a mixture of cream cheese, honey and lemon zest and topped with delicious jam.
I’ve been making a lot of jams recently so I decided to fill the pinwheels with several different flavors of jam and marmalade. I used homemade citrus marmalade, peach preserves, cranberry pear jam, and grapefruit cranberry marmalade.
Looks wonderful! I love the pinwheel idea and your pics are great!
Thanks Ezzie! The pinwheels tasted great with the jam.
OH my do these ever look good! My husband would love them!
Is that home canned jam I see?
Ooh, I love this idea for the challah dough!
Thanks Ladies!
Yes, that is home canned jam. I decided to make use of the fruit (ha!) of my labors.
Wowza!! These are even more beautiful! I wish I had one to try right now…amazing 😀
Love this idea! They look beautiful. How nice these would be for a brunch or breakfast this holiday– great idea! Love it!
Thanks Cristie! It was a good opportunity to use some of my homemade jam.
