Try our unique beetroot swirl sourdough rolls with walnut and feta for a nutritious, vibrant twist on homemade bread. Perfect for any gathering!
Ingredients
- • active sourdough starter: 1 cup
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • whole wheat flour: 2 cups
- • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • cooked and pureed beetroot: 1/2 cup
- • crumbled feta cheese: 1/2 cup
- • chopped walnuts: 1/2 cup
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • honey: 1 tablespoon
- • fresh dill, chopped: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm water, and honey. Stir until well combined.
- 2 Gradually add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt to the mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.
- 3 Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, gradually adding olive oil until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- 4 Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 3 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 5 Meanwhile, prepare the beetroot filling by mixing the pureed beetroot with chopped walnuts, crumbled feta, and fresh dill.
- 6 After the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the beetroot mixture evenly over the dough.
- 7 Roll the dough into a log, starting from the long edge. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them cut-side down in a greased baking dish.
- 8 Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for another hour in a warm place.
- 9 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once preheated, bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 10 Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these delightful beetroot swirl rolls warm with a side of hummus or a light green salad for a complete meal. The earthy flavors of the beetroot and the creamy feta make them perfect for pairing with a fresh cucumber and tomato salad, drizzled with a lemon vinaigrette. To complement the rolls, consider a refreshing herbal tea or a glass of chilled white wine. These rolls also make a great side for hearty soups, particularly those with Mediterranean flavors. Try them alongside a lentil soup with rosemary or a rich tomato bisque. Their vibrant color and unique taste make them an eye-catching addition to any picnic or brunch table.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag to freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply thaw at room temperature and warm in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes to regain their fresh-from-the-oven texture.
