Bake vibrant green tea & chia seed whole wheat rolls for a nutritious twist on traditional bread. Perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack!
Ingredients
- • whole wheat flour: 2 cups
- • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • matcha green tea powder: 1 tablespoon
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • active dry yeast: 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- • warm water: 1 cup (110°F/45°C)
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • egg (for egg wash): 1
- • sesame seeds (optional, for topping): 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add honey and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, matcha powder, chia seeds, and salt.
- 3 Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- 5 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 6 Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Let the rolls rise for an additional 15 minutes.
- 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 8 Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • Enjoy these vibrant green tea rolls warm, paired with a light spread of almond butter or a slather of creamy avocado for a nutritious breakfast. They also make a perfect accompaniment to a bowl of hearty vegetable soup or a fresh mixed greens salad, adding a unique flavor dimension. For a delightful afternoon snack, serve these rolls with a cup of herbal tea, enhancing the calming effects of the matcha. Their subtle sweetness and earthy flavors also pair well with a mild cheese and fruit platter, offering a balance of savory and sweet.
Storage Tips
To maintain freshness, store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place them in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
