Discover the nutritious delight of spelt and seaweed rolls. Packed with fiber, these rolls offer a unique umami taste and are perfect for clean eating.
Ingredients
- • spelt flour: 3 cups
- • dried seaweed (such as nori or wakame): 1/4 cup, crumbled
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • honey: 1 tablespoon
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • sesame seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- 2 In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 3 In a large mixing bowl, combine spelt flour, crumbled seaweed, sea salt, and garlic powder. Stir in the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough begins to form.
- 4 Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 5 Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small roll and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 6 Brush the rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 7 Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Ancient Grain Spelt and Seaweed Rolls are best enjoyed warm, paired with a light green salad or a bowl of miso soup to complement their unique umami flavor. For a delightful breakfast or brunch option, serve the rolls with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. For a plant-based meal, consider serving the rolls alongside a hearty lentil stew or a refreshing seaweed salad. The rolls' robust flavors also pair well with a simple olive oil dip infused with garlic and herbs, making them a perfect appetizer or snack.
Storage Tips
To maintain their freshness, store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the rolls. Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw at room temperature and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
