Ingredients

• 1 cup Milk
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 Orange's Zest
• 1 cup Organic Chia Seed
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

• 1-1/2 cups Milk
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted Butter melted
• 3 Eggs
• 2-1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
• 2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour or Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• 3 to 4 cups Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Sea Salt (4g)

Instructions

1. Heat milk, sugar and orange zest to barely simmering.
2. Add chia seeds and cook over low heat until all liquid has absorbed, 5-7 minutes. Add vanilla extract.

1. Heat milk and sugar to 110°F. Sprinkle yeast over warm milk and let sit until it looks creamy.
2. Combine flours in a large mixing bowl. Add butter, eggs and yeast/milk mixture and mix for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add salt and continue to mix for an additional 2 - 3 minutes. Place dough in a well-oiled bowl, turn dough once to coat both sides, cover and chill overnight.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/4" thickness. Cut 3" round circles and transfer them to parchement lined sheet trays.
5. Top the center of each round with 1 Tbsp of chia seed filling. Let rise until puffy, 15 - 20 minutes.
6. Lightly egg wash and bake at 375°F until golden, about 12 - 15 minutes.
