Orange nut muffins

Maida                     - 1 cup

Whole Wheat flour - 1/2 cup

Butter                     -  2 tbsps

Agave                    - 1 tbsp

Orange juice          - 1 cup

Active dry yeast     - 1 1/4 tsp

Salt                        - 1/4 tsp

Nuts of your choice- 1/2 cup(chopped)*

* I used almonds

Add  the salt to the flour followed by the butter. Mix it well so that the butter blends with the flour. Then add the yeast to the flour and mix well with your hands.

Add 1/2 cup lukewarm water to the orange juice and add this along with the agave to the flour and mix well into a soft dough. Knead for about 3-5 minutes. Cover and place it in a warm place until the dough doubles in size. It took me about 4 hours for this when placed in the oven with the light on.

Kneaded dough

Take the dough and knead for a couple of minutes. Then divide the dough into 6 balls.

Roll out each ball into 1/2 inch thickness circles and place about a tsp of chopped nuts in the center.

Roll out risen dough and fill with nuts

Cover it and close it all around shaping it like a ball.

Rolled out dough in greased muffin pan

Place these nut filled dough balls in greased muffin pans and let it stand for half hour.

Preheat oven to 450 F and bake the muffins until the top is light brown or well done.

It took about 30 minutes for mine to bake.
