Ingredients for Savory Spinach & Chickpea Swirl Rolls with Rosemary Infusion

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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. 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. 4 In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and yeast mixture. Knead until a soft dough forms, about 5 minutes.
  5. 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. 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. 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. 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.
