Discover vibrant beetroot sourdough rolls with crunchy pumpkin seeds. Gluten-free and vegan-friendly, perfect for healthy homemade bread enthusiasts!
Ingredients
- • gluten-free sourdough starter: 1 cup
- • medium beetroot, cooked and pureed: 1 cup
- • gluten-free flour mix: 3 cups
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • pumpkin seeds: 1/2 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • baking soda: 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free sourdough starter, pureed beetroot, and warm water. Stir well to integrate the vibrant beetroot puree into the mixture.
- 3 Gradually add the gluten-free flour mix, olive oil, salt, and baking soda, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches a manageable consistency.
- 4 Gently fold in the pumpkin seeds and chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough for added texture and nutrition.
- 5 Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 12 hours or overnight to allow the sourdough to ferment and develop its distinctive flavor.
- 6 Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a roll and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7 Brush the tops of the rolls with a little olive oil and sprinkle with additional pumpkin seeds for a decorative touch.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 9 Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
