Inspired by traditional Palestinian flatbread manakish, these soaked spelt rolls are slathered in olive oil and za'atar spice blend -- a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine! There's just no way to compete with homemade dinner rolls (soft and fluffy!) and one of the best spice mixes on the planet. Enjoy these easy rolls with a pat of butter or dollop of hummus, no bread machine required!
Pull the dough away from the sides of its bowl, shaping it for just a few seconds until it is a smooth ball.
I know what many of you might be thinking... Why use yeast in these rolls? Yeast allows these tender spelt rolls to be fluffy and soft, whereas the overnight soaking step makes them digestible. So there's no need to worry! We're using yeast as a leavening agent, like we would baking soda, but fermentation is still happening so sensitive tummies can enjoy these spelt rolls.
