Bake vibrant turmeric and chia seed sourdough rolls for a nutritious, gut-friendly treat. Perfect for boosting immunity and flavor, naturally.
Ingredients
- • active sourdough starter: 1 cup
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • whole wheat flour: 1 1/2 cups
- • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • ground turmeric: 1 tablespoon
- • chia seeds: 3 tablespoons
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter with 1 cup of warm water. Stir in the honey and olive oil, mixing until well combined.
- 2 Gradually add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, ground turmeric, chia seeds, and sea salt into the liquid mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
- 3 Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Add minimal flour to prevent sticking.
- 4 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for about 8 hours or until doubled in size. This slow fermentation enhances the flavor and digestibility.
- 5 After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 6 Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rest for another hour to allow them to rise slightly.
- 7 Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Once preheated, bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
- 8 Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving. For added flavor, brush the tops with a little olive oil while still warm.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Golden Turmeric & Chia Seed Sourdough Rolls are perfect for any meal of the day. Serve them warm with a spread of avocado and a sprinkle of sea salt for a nourishing breakfast. Pair them with a hearty vegetable soup or a fresh salad for a balanced lunch or dinner option. For a beverage, a cup of green tea or a ginger-infused herbal tea would complement the earthy flavors beautifully, enhancing the overall wellness experience. To add a bit of freshness, consider garnishing the rolls with chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley. Their vibrant green hues and fresh aromas will contrast nicely with the golden tones of the turmeric, creating a visually appealing and flavorful dish.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To maintain their freshness, you can also freeze them for up to 2 months. Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap and place them in a zip-top freezer bag. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature and reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore their original texture.
