Turmeric Hemp Seed Shortbreads

Wednesday, May 16, 2018

Delicate, buttery, rich shortbread cookies made with spelt and hulled hemp seeds and infused with variety of warm spices. They are a great afternoon snack and particularly good when paired with a pot of freshly brewed tea. The cooled shortbread cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.

150 g Unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tbsp Raw sugar
120 g Refined spelt flour
1 tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 tsp Chilli flakes
40 g Hulled hemp seeds

In a medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Sift the flour with the salt, spices and hulled hemp seeds. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and beat until blended. Scrape the shortbread dough out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pat it into a log, about 1-inch in diameter. Wrap it up and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour or up to 2 days.
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Slice the dough 5mm thick and arrange, at least 2cm apart, on two parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake in batches on middle rack until set but not brown, about 12 minutes. Slide the parchment onto a wire rack and let the shortbreads cool.

Spelt Flower Bread

Thursday, April 19, 2018

Three layers of almond chocolate spread sandwiched between soft sweet spelt bread and twisted into a flower shape, this spelt bread is amazing both for its appearance and its taste. It's not at all difficult to make and perfect to bring to a garden tea party or an afternoon snack.


365 g Refined spelt flour (or 330 g Whole spelt flour+1 tbsp Kaniwa seeds) 30 g Raw sugar 18 g Fresh yeast, crumbled Pinch of salt 30 g Butter, melted and cooled slightly 175 ml Full fat milk, lukewarm 2 Egg yolks 150 g Almond chocolate spread 30 g Butter, room-temperature and cut into small pieces 1 tbsp Almonds, chopped Egg white for glaze

Whisk the lukewarm milk, raw sugar and fresh yeast in a jug. Place the refined spelt flours (or whole spelt flour and kaniwa seeds) and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add the yeast mixture and egg yolks. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until smooth. Knead in butter pieces until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a clean bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm draught-free place to prove for 1 hour or until dough doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and knead shortly on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 even portions. Roll out each portion of dough into a round, about 25-cm/10-inch.
Place the almond chocolate spread into a small bowl and warm it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make it easier to spread onto the dough.
Place a disc of dough on a piece of baking paper and spread 1/3 of almond chocolate spread over. Top with another disc of dough and spread another third of almond chocolate spread and repeat one more time. Now cover with the last disc of dough. Transfer it to a baking sheet or a springform pan.
Take a small drinking glass and place that in the centre of the dough as a guide. Use a sharp knife and cut the dough into 12 or 16 wedges. Take each section of dough and twist. You can leave them as they are or pinch two sections of twisted dough together.
Now cover the dough with a kitchen towel and leave for 30-40 minutes to allow the dough to rise. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Once the bread had risen, brush the surface with egg white and sprinkle the center of the dough with the chopped almonds. Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes until nicely golden brown.
