Hildegard's WayShare
Ingredients
- 375 g extra light spelt flour type 405
- 10 g dry yeast or 20 g fresh yeast
- 125 ml milk
- 180 ml pumpkin purée (¾ cup)
- 45 g butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
All ingredients should be at room temperature.
Instructions:
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the milk to the hot butter and stir to create a warm milk-butter mixture.
- In a large bowl, combine the extra light spelt flour, salt, and dry yeast. Add the pumpkin purée and the warm milk-butter mixture.
- Knead until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be sticky, but you should be able to shape it into a ball.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place it in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Gently knead the dough again and divide it into 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased with butter and lightly sprinkled with cream of spelt.
- Cover with a cotton or linen cloth and allow the rolls to rise for another 40–45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Just before baking, brush each roll with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 20–23 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
