But I just wasn't sure I wanted such coconut flavor to come through my pumpkin/cinnamon profile going with this). So I subbed it out. BUT I will try coconut oil next time! Also for my icing, I used ginger jam (yes, ginger!), mixed it with cream cheese, a little bit of almond milk to thin it out. OH MY MIND. So good. It's no vegan anymore but hey I'm okay with that :)<br /><br />And I forgot to mention.... It was still VERY delicious. :) LOVE it even more after heating it for 10-15 secs in the microwave. Hot, gooey and so fragrant. Thanks for all your feedback.

The only difference I noticed was that with the latter I had to wait a bit longer.<br />While kneading the dough by hand does not influence the rising (I always knead by dough, btw).<br />I'm confident that your second attempt will be much more successful.<br />Mike<br />TheIronYouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540548816855416456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852827703279494520.post-39787667621689808112013-03-11T12:09:17.603-04:002013-03-11T12:09:17.603-04:00Thank you!

I used active yeast (since I couldn't find baker's yeast in store), which I suspected was the reason why. I did the "zig zag" the dough log with a knife lightly. Also used canola oil instead of coconut oil. I also kneaded the dough by hand (don't have dough hook attachment). Could kneading too much prevent dough rising/texture? I love pumpkin spices so I added more than suggested here. Anyway, I might try this again to hopefully perfect this dish. :)Josiehttp://www.saltandpeppermint.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852827703279494520.post-33061595676550125112013-03-08T09:26:27.159-05:002013-03-08T09:26:27.159-05:00Hey Josie,
When you cut a loaf of bread (or some s...Hey Josie,<br />When you cut a loaf of bread (or some salami for instance) you need to apply some pressure on the knife so that the blade can saw through. The harder a thing is, the more strength you have to use to cut it (imagine how hard is to cut a log of wood).<br />In this case instead, the dough is so soft that you don't need (nor want) to apply any pressure whatsoever on the knife. All you have to do is to move the blade back and forth and it will cut right into the dough (the weight of the blade alone will be enough for that to happen). <br />If you use force instead of cutting the snails you would just mush them.<br />It's more complicated to explain than it is to do. <br />Let me now if you have any further questions.<br />Happy baking!<br /> TheIronYouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540548816855416456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852827703279494520.post-11118581961062504802013-03-07T17:55:33.641-05:002013-03-07T17:55:33.641-05:00HI Mike, I don't quite understand you meant by...HI Mike, I don't quite understand you meant by "Using a very sharp knife, using no pressure whatsoever gently saw your log with a back-forth motion." Could you please explain that a bit more? Though I love to bake and cook, I've never made any baked goods with rising yeast. This recipe is calling me to break out my "comfort zone" and get my hands messy with yeast + kneading dough. I hope you'll get to read this inquiry and respond.... Can't wait to try this.
