Whip up vibrant beetroot and chia seed rolls! Packed with fiber and omega-3s, these wholesome rolls are a nutrient-dense spin on classic bread.
Ingredients
- • beetroot: 1 medium, boiled and pureed
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • honey: 1 tablespoon
- • whole wheat flour: 2 cups
- • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a small bowl, mix the warm water and honey, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- 3 In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, chia seeds, and salt. Create a well in the center and add the beetroot puree, olive oil, and yeast mixture.
- 4 Stir until the ingredients are just combined, then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- 5 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, covered with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
- 6 Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7 Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 10 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 8 Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Rustic Beetroot and Chia Seed Bread Rolls are a versatile addition to any meal. Serve them warm with a dollop of homemade hummus or a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a Mediterranean-inspired snack. For a heartier meal, pair them with a vibrant salad of arugula, roasted walnuts, and goat cheese. To enhance the earthy flavors, consider serving these rolls alongside a bowl of creamy pumpkin soup or a hearty lentil stew. A fresh herbal tea or a glass of kombucha would make for a delightful beverage pairing, complementing the rolls' unique flavors.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a sealed bag for up to 2 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to regain their fresh-baked texture.
