Boost your health with spirulina bread rolls, packed with ancient grains. A vegan, nutrient-dense delight! Perfect for clean eating.
Ingredients
- • warm water: 1 1/4 cups
- • active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • whole spelt flour: 2 cups
- • teff flour: 1 cup
- • spirulina powder: 2 teaspoons
- • fresh rosemary, chopped: 1 tablespoon
- • fresh thyme, chopped: 1 tablespoon
- • black chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and maple syrup. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
- 2 In a separate bowl, mix the spelt and teff flours with the spirulina powder, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, chia seeds, and salt. Stir to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.
- 3 Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form. Add the olive oil and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- 5 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a spiral shape and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 6 Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes, allowing the spirals to puff up slightly.
- 7 Bake the spirals in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are lightly golden and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These spirulina spirals make a fantastic accompaniment to a hearty vegetable soup or a fresh salad. Their subtle umami flavor pairs well with a citrus vinaigrette or a creamy avocado spread. For a complete plant-based meal, serve them with a side of roasted vegetables and a protein-rich chickpea salad. To complement the earthy flavors of the spirulina and herbs, consider pairing these rolls with a refreshing herbal tea or a glass of chilled kombucha. The effervescence of kombucha will enhance the overall dining experience, keeping it light and refreshing.
Storage Tips
To maintain the freshness of these spirulina rolls, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a plastic bag with excess air removed. Thaw them at room temperature when ready to enjoy, and reheat them briefly in the oven for a freshly baked feel.
