Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour and dry yeast. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the lukewarm water, honey, and salt until well combined. Pour this mixture into the well of the flour and yeast.
-
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
-
Add the olive oil to the dough and knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. The dough should no longer stick to your hands.
-
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.
-
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
-
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top, if desired.
-
Bake the Dinkelbrotchen in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
