all-purpose flour

💰Cheaper: none

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

jam

🥗Healthier: fruit puree

💰Cheaper: store-brand jam

Fruit puree reduces sugar content.

Make the dough by mixing 4 cups of all-purpose flour with 3/4 cup of shortening and 3/4 cup of softened salted butter.

Add 1 cup of sugar and mix well.

Slowly add ice cold water until the dough comes together, being careful not to add too much at once.

Form the dough into a ball, flatten it slightly, and wrap it in parchment paper before refrigerating for at least 15 minutes.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a baking dish lined with foil for easier cleanup.

Spread jam over the rolled-out dough, leaving some space at the edges.

Roll the dough over the jam, sealing the edges with a fork and creating breathing holes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Bake the jam roll for about 10-15 minutes at 375°F, then lower the temperature to finish cooking until crispy.
