Hello!Walt Whitman"Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you."
Just for You - Recipe of the MonthPeanut Butter Bliss RollsThis time I will share a recipe for a wonderful pastry. I hope a little variety will bring a lot of joy. 💝These delightful rolls bring together the goodness of whole-grain spelt flour, peanut butter, and just the right balance of fats and fiber to make for a wholesome treat that won’t spike blood sugar levels. With the added benefits of psyllium husks, they keep you feeling full while helping to maintain stable blood sugar, making them a perfect choice for a nourishing snack or a comforting breakfast. ![]() Instructions 1. Activate the Yeast Warm the milk and water gently, then stir in the yeast and sugar. Cover and let sit in a warm place for about 15 minutes until the yeast is foamy. 2. Prepare the Dough Melt the butter over low heat and set it aside to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, mix the spelt flour, psyllium husks, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix and knead until a smooth dough forms (you can use a mixer initially, then finish kneading by hand on a lightly floured surface if desired). 3. Proof the Dough Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 40-60 minutes. 4. Preheat and Shape Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball. Roll each ball into a flat circle, roughly the size of a small plate. 5. Layer with Peanut Butter Place the first circle of dough on a plate and spread with a layer of peanut butter. Repeat this step with each dough circle, stacking them on top of one another and spreading with peanut butter, except for the top layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes. 6. Cut and Shape Rolls After chilling, roll out the stacked dough into a circle about a few millimeters thick. Use a knife to cut the dough into 16 triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the narrow end to form crescent rolls. Place each roll on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 7. Brush and Rest Brush the rolls with the beaten egg, then let them rest for about 15 minutes. 8. Bake
Bake the rolls for about 20 minutes, or until they’re golden yellow.
