Ingredients for Turmeric and Chia Seed Spelt Rolls: Nourishing Ancient Grains for Gut Health

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, honey, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
  3. 3 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together spelt flour, turmeric powder, chia seeds, and sea salt. Create a well in the center.
  4. 4 Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the well of the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. 5 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. 6 Gently punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary and let them rise for another 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped underneath. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • These Turmeric and Chia Seed Spelt Rolls are delightful on their own or with a smear of avocado for a nutrient-dense snack. Pair them with a hearty lentil soup or a vibrant beetroot salad for a complete meal. For an added touch of indulgence, consider serving with a side of herb-infused olive oil for dipping. To complement the aromatic flavor of the rolls, a refreshing glass of cucumber-mint infused water or a zesty lemon-ginger tea would enhance the dining experience. The rolls' robust texture and earthy flavors make them a versatile accompaniment to a variety of dishes.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To maintain their freshness, consider wrapping them in a clean cloth before placing them in the container. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a resealable freezer bag for up to 2 months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or warm them in the oven for a few minutes.
