Instructions

Dough Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, and baking powder.
Fold in the Greek yogurt until a shaggy dough forms. Use your hands to knead gently on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
Roll the dough out into a long, thin rectangle.

Assembly and Baking

Mix the cinnamon and brown sugar substitute together and sprinkle evenly over the dough rectangle.
Roll the dough into one long log, then coil it into a spiral and place into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
While baking, whip the remaining Greek yogurt, protein powder, and vanilla until smooth and opaque.

Finishing

Drape the protein icing generously over the warm roll.
Allow to cool slightly, then cut into 4 equal wedges.

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

Use a bench scraper to roll the dough into a tight log before spiraling to prevent it from unraveling while baking.

Tip 2 of 2

Let the icing sit for 5 minutes before applying to the warm roll; this allows the proteins to hydrate fully for a thick, pipeable consistency.
