Discover these nutrient-rich Mediterranean Einkorn Rolls with olives, herbs, and sun-dried tomato swirls. Perfect for a healthy homemade bread day!
Ingredients
- • einkorn flour: 3 cups
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • extra virgin olive oil: 3 tablespoons
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • pitted Kalamata olives, chopped: 1/2 cup
- • fresh rosemary, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh thyme, chopped: 1 tablespoon
- • sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped: 1/3 cup
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • egg (for egg wash): 1
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for baking later.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- 3 Gradually add the einkorn flour, salt, olive oil, olives, rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder to the yeast mixture. Stir until the ingredients come together into a dough.
- 4 Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes until smooth. Einkorn dough is stickier than regular wheat dough, so add small amounts of flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- 5 Flatten the dough into a rectangle and spread the sun-dried tomatoes evenly across the surface. Roll the dough into a log, then slice it into 8 equal pieces.
- 6 Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place until they've doubled in size.
- 7 Brush the tops of the rolls with a beaten egg for a glossy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- 8 Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor experience.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Mediterranean Olive & Herb Einkorn Rolls are versatile and pair beautifully with a variety of dishes. Serve them alongside a hearty lentil soup or a fresh Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal. For breakfast, enjoy them with a spread of avocado and a sprinkle of sea salt. A light white wine such as a Sauvignon Blanc or a sparkling water with a slice of lemon makes an excellent beverage pairing, enhancing the herbal notes and providing a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the rolls.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply thaw and warm in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to maintain their crisp exterior and soft interior.
