Boost your immunity with these savory turmeric and spinach swirl rolls, packed with pumpkin seeds and whole grains. Perfect for a healthy snack!
Ingredients
- • whole wheat flour: 3 cups
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 3 tablespoons, divided
- • ground turmeric: 1 teaspoon
- • fresh spinach: 2 cups, chopped
- • garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • pumpkin seeds: 1/4 cup
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- 3 Stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, turmeric, and sea salt. Gradually add the whole wheat flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4 In a skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped spinach. Sauté until the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with black pepper.
- 5 On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the spinach mixture over the dough, and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
- 6 Roll the dough tightly from one long side, like a jelly roll. Cut into 8 equal pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
- 7 Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Savory Turmeric & Spinach Swirl Rolls are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Serve them alongside a hearty vegetable soup or a fresh salad for a complete, balanced meal. They also pair wonderfully with a creamy hummus dip or a tangy yogurt sauce, enhancing the savory notes of the rolls. For a wholesome breakfast, enjoy these rolls with a sunny-side-up egg and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Their rich flavor and nutrient content make them a satisfying start to your day.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To maintain freshness, you can also freeze them.

To reheat, simply thaw at room temperature and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
