Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare Whole Wheat Not So Sweet Dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll 1/4 of the dough into a rectangle measuring 8 x 16 inches.
- Cut the rectangle into 4 x 4 inch squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or substituting the raisins with chopped dates for a different sweetness profile. If you're looking for a nut-free option, you can replace peanut butter chips with white chocolate chips. Ensure the dough is well-floured to prevent sticking, and adjust the sugar levels according to your taste preference. This recipe is a nice twist on classic American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pull apart ring warm, drizzled with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk for added sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a side of Divine Raspberry Salad for a refreshing contrast. Consider serving it as a brunch item alongside Party Chiffon Cake for a delightful spread that guests will love.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the pull apart ring, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, for up to a month. To reheat, simply place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it up to 24 hours before using. Just allow it to come to room temperature before rolling it out to ensure it rolls easily.
What can I use instead of egg white?
If you're looking for a vegan alternative, you can substitute the egg white with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal and 2.5 tablespoons of water, let it sit until it thickens. This works well for binding the ingredients.
How can I enhance the flavor of this dish?
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the filling or incorporating chopped nuts for added texture. A sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can also elevate the overall taste.
