Whole Grain Vegan Spelt Rolls Recipes

WHOLE GRAIN VEGAN SPELT ROLLS

Steps:

• In your stand mixer bowl, add the yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and lukewarm water. Let stand for a few minutes.
• When the yeast has foamed up, add the room temperature/lukewarm milk, oil, sugar, salt, and 2 cups of whole spelt flour. Mix with a spoon to combine. Mixture will look like a batter.
• Put stand mixer bowl in place, add 1 more cup of flour and using the dough hook, set the mixer to knead.
• After the mixture has formed a dough, you will know it is good when it does not stick to the sides. If it is still too sticky, add flour, a little at a time.
• Let mixer knead dough for about 3 minutes and until it is no longer sticky.
• Lightly oil the inside of a medium-sized bowl.
• Remove dough from mixer bowl and place into the oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit in a warm spot until it has doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Lightly grease a 9" cast iron pan, 9" cake pan or a 8x8 baking dish, set aside. (parchment paper can also be used instead of greasing)
• After the 45 minutes have passed, punch the dough down and knead for a few seconds to get rid of any air pockets.
• Separate the dough into 8 equal sized pieces.
• Roll each piece into a ball and place each into the pan or baking dish. It's OK if they are close together.
• Cover with a towel and place in a warm spot. Let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Bake for 18 minutes or until they are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and let cool in the cast iron pan. If you have used a cake pan or a baking dish, let cool for a few minutes and then remove rolls and place on a cooling rack.

VEGAN SPELT BUNS OR ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Grease a 9"x13" and set aside. (I used coconut oil cooking spray).
• Mix the 1 tbsp flaxseed meal with 3 tbsp water, let sit 15 minutes. It should absorb the water, resulting in a thick and goopy mixture.
• In your mixer bowl combine water, coconut oil, yeast and sugar. Mix and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• Using your dough hook attachment, mix in the salt, flax mixture and flour. Knead with hook until dough is smooth and soft (about 2 minutes). You may add 2 tbsp more flour if it seems too sticky.
• Form dough into 12 equal sized balls and place into the greased 9"x13" pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Bake for 18 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
• Brush with melted vegan butter and sprinkle some poppy or sesame seeds on top.
