Soft Spelt Dinner Rolls

10 ingredients
12 steps

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)

Directions

  1. 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. 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. 3
    I used the paddle on my mix master and that did a great job mixing the ingredients.
  4. 4
    Stir in the salt and optional soya milk powder.
  5. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 11
    Preheat your oven to 375°F Bake for 26 to 30 minutes.

    Enjoy!
