Savory Buckwheat dinner rolls recipe

Savory buckwheat flour dinner rolls with wheat flour, psyllium husk, flax meal, green chilli, onion and coriander leaves. Full video post.

I love savory buns and wanted to make for about a month now. Made this one last month and wanted to make again. Then thought why not tweak a bit to make a new post with the healthy ingredients I had in hand. Totally loved the soft texture and taste of these with a hint of spice from chilli and flavour from shallots. Also I have used psyllium husk in this buns. Now,

What is psyllium husk?

Psyllium husk is a plant based ingredient from husk of Plantago ovata plant’s seeds.

What are the uses of psyllium husk?

Psyllium husk is mainly used as dietary fiber, helps in symptoms of constipation. When used over time, it also said to help in lowering cholesterol and type two diabetics.

This is the first time I know about psyllium husk after I got it from Wildseed.sg and good to learn about it’s health benefits. I have started using it just in small quantities (1 tbsp) in paratha dough, bread, cheela etc. It doesnt affect the flavour or taste. I realized having healthy ingredients at home influences the healthy eating habit too and want to continue with it.

So if you are in Singapore, you can order such quality organic ingredients from wildseed.sg (non-affiliate link)

Coming to today’s recipe, both Vj and Aj loved these dinner rolls and it got over in no time. I have used butter in this recipe, you can easily replace it with olive oil, if you are worried about it.

You can also make the same recipe with 1 & 1/2 cup maida (all purpose flour) or fully wheat flour or a ratio of maida and wheat flour too! – skipping buckwheat flour, flax meal, psyllium husk. Water quantity is 1/4 cup and others same (instead of using the water for flax mixture and the 1 tbsp extra).

I have used instant yeast, so directly adding for mixing. If you are using active dry yeast, you have to dissolve completely yeast in milk, water and sugar. Keep aside for 10 mins. This mixture should be frothy and rised for using in the recipe to knead dough.

Enjoy warm with butter for breakfast or as dinner rolls with soup. It is soft in texture and delicious too! Since we have added onion, it is better to consume within a day. Dough is also recommended for same day use.
