Serving Suggestions
- • These Rustic Mediterranean Olive and Herb Spelt Rolls are a versatile addition to any meal. Serve them warm with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt for a simple yet flavorful appetizer. Pair them with a fresh Greek salad loaded with cucumber, tomato, and feta for a balanced, nutritious meal. For a heartier option, enjoy these rolls alongside a bowl of lentil soup or roasted vegetable stew, where their herby notes will complement the earthy flavors beautifully. For a refreshing beverage pairing, consider serving these rolls with a chilled glass of cucumber-infused water or a light white wine like Pinot Grigio to enhance their Mediterranean vibe.
Storage Tips
To maintain their freshness, store these spelt rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months.
