Ingredients
- • fresh beetroot: 1 medium, peeled and grated
- • whole wheat flour: 3 cups
- • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • chopped walnuts: 1 cup, toasted lightly
- • fresh rosemary: 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water with a tablespoon of honey. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, remaining honey, olive oil, salt, and the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
- 3 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more all-purpose flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- 4 Flatten the dough into a rectangle and sprinkle the toasted walnuts, rosemary, and black pepper evenly over the surface. Roll the dough into a log, starting from a long side, and cut into 8 equal pieces.
- 5 Place the rolls in a lightly oiled baking dish, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 6 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Artisan Beetroot & Walnut Swirl Rolls are perfect when served warm with a dollop of soft goat cheese or a drizzle of olive oil for a simple yet elegant appetizer. Pair them with a fresh green salad dressed in a tangy vinaigrette to balance the sweetness of the beetroot. For a beverage pairing, consider a light herbal tea or a crisp, dry white wine to complement the earthy flavors. For a more substantial meal, serve these rolls as a side to a hearty stew or soup, allowing the rolls to soak up the rich flavors. The vibrant color and unique flavor profile also make them an eye-catching addition to any brunch spread.
Storage Tips
To maintain the freshness of your Beetroot & Walnut Swirl Rolls, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
