Bake these nutritious Savory Spinach & Chickpea Swirl Rolls with a rosemary twist for a deliciously healthy homemade bread experience.
Ingredients
- • whole wheat flour: 3 cups
- • fresh spinach: 1 cup, packed
- • canned chickpeas: 1 cup, drained and rinsed
- • olive oil: 3 tablespoons
- • fresh rosemary: 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • sugar: 1 tablespoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • nutritional yeast: 2 tablespoons
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 3 In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, spinach, olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
- 4 In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and yeast mixture. Knead until a soft dough forms, about 5 minutes.
- 5 Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread the chickpea mixture evenly over the dough.
- 6 Starting from one edge, gently roll the dough into a log. Slice into 1-inch thick rolls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7 Cover with a clean cloth and let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- 8 Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the savory aroma and unique taste!
Serving Suggestions
- • For a complete meal, pair these savory rolls with a fresh garden salad dressed with a lemon vinaigrette to enhance the citrus notes in the rolls. These rolls also pair beautifully with a bowl of roasted tomato soup, creating a hearty and comforting meal option. For beverages, consider serving with a refreshing cucumber and mint-infused water, which complements the herbal notes of rosemary and spinach, or a light herbal tea such as chamomile to round out this delightful bread experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls by placing them in a zip-lock bag or freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. To enjoy them warm again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. This will help maintain their fresh-out-of-the-oven texture and flavor.
