Soft Spelt Dinner Rolls Recipe

Name: Soft Spelt Dinner Rolls
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups warm water (filtered); 4 tablespoons raw sugar; 2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast (Red Star); 1 cup spelt flour; 1/4 cup vegan margarine (Earth Balance); 1 egg substitute (Ener-G); 1 tablespoon sea salt (Celtic); 4 -5 cups spelt flour; 1/4 cup unbleached white flour; 1/2 cup soy powder (optional)

Servings: persons

1
Add the warm water to your mixing bowl and stir in the sugar until most of it is dissolved. Gently stir in the yeast. Wait 5 minutes for the yeast to become active. You should see some yeast and bubble floating to the top.
2
Mix in the cup of spelt flour. Add the egg replacer and melted Earth Balance Buttery Spread. At this point and mix thoroughly.
3
I used the paddle on my mix master and that did a great job mixing the ingredients.
4
Stir in the salt and optional soya milk powder.
5
Slowly mix in the rest of the spelt and unbleached flours. When it forms a ball that just barely sticks to the bowl, then it is time to start kneading.
6
Either turn it out onto a floured board or switch to a dough hook in your mixer, and knead for 6 minutes. Let it rest for a few minutes while you oil the rising bowl, then knead for 6 more minutes.
7
Put the dough ball in the rising bowl and roll it around so that it is coated with the oil. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise for about 2 hours or until doubled.
8
Punch down the dough and gently knead out any large bubbles. Cover and let rise for about half as long as the first time.
9
Oil your cake pan. Pull off pieces of dough a little bigger than a golf ball and roll them in your hand to form round top.
10
Place them side by side in your pan. I tend to make 4 rows of 4 rolls in an 8x8 pan and 5 rows of 5 slightly smaller rolls in a 9x9 pan. Cover and let rise for an hour.
11
Preheat your oven to 375u00b0F Bake for 26 to 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
