The Recipe

Servings: 6 rolls | Total Time: 35 minutes | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 ⅓ cup spelt flour
• 1 whole egg
• 1 ⅔ cup plain yogurt
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 3 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
• 30 g butter (for topping)
• 80 g white cheese (crumbled)
• Seeds for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk the egg with the salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt with baking soda and stir until it begins to bubble.
3. Pour the yogurt mixture and olive oil into the bowl with the egg, stirring to combine.
4. Gradually add the spelt flour in portions, mixing with a spoon until a thick, sticky dough forms.
5. Fold in the crumbled white cheese.
6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and use a spoon to shape small rolls from the dough onto the tray.
7. Cut the butter into small cubes and place one on top of each roll. Sprinkle with seeds if desired.
8. Let the rolls rest for 10 minutes while preheating the oven to 200°C (390°F).
9. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Tip: Use a mix of seeds such as sesame, sunflower, or pumpkin for extra crunch and nutrients. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to firm them up. These rolls freeze well; simply reheat in the oven for a fresh-baked taste.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil or a slice of avocado.
• Pair with eggs or a fresh salad for breakfast or lunch.
• Enjoy as a snack with a cup of tea or coffee.

Swaps

• Oil: Use avocado oil, melted coconut oil, or light olive oil instead of olive oil.
• Cheese: Swap white cheese with feta, goat cheese, or a dairy-free cheese alternative.
• Seeds: Use any combination of pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, chia, or flax seeds.
• Butter topping: Replace with a small drizzle of olive oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
