Discover vibrant green tea and pumpkin seed artisan rolls. Packed with antioxidants and nutrients, these rolls are a healthy homemade delight.
Ingredients
- • warm water: 1 1/4 cups
- • active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • whole wheat flour: 2 cups
- • all-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups
- • matcha green tea powder: 1 tablespoon
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • shelled pumpkin seeds: 1/2 cup
- • egg: 1 (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- 2 In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, and sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the yeast mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- 3 Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes, incorporating the olive oil midway through kneading. The dough should be smooth and elastic.
- 4 Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 5 Punch down the dough and transfer it back to the floured surface. Gently knead in the pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed.
- 6 Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small roll. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 7 Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during this time.
- 8 If desired, mix the egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash for a glossy finish.
- 9 Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 10 Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These artisan rolls make a delightful accompaniment to a hearty vegetable soup or a fresh garden salad, enhancing the meal with their unique flavor and crunchy texture. For a more indulgent treat, serve them warm with a spread of avocado or nut butter. To elevate your brunch spread, pair them with a refreshing green smoothie or a cup of herbal tea, complementing the rolls' earthy notes beautifully. For a festive touch, these rolls can be garnished with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt or additional pumpkin seeds before baking, adding an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal. They are perfect for family gatherings, picnics, or as a healthy snack to enjoy while unwinding after a busy day.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer shelf life, freeze the rolls individually wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or reheat in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their warmth and slight crispness.
