These paleo bread rolls are so yum and super easy to make! They go perfect with winter soups and curries, make the best burger buns and perfect hot out of the oven with a dollup of butter! ALSO… If you love this recipe you should definitely checkout out our Paleo Bread recipe eBook!
These paleo bread rolls are made of chia seeds. Yes, those tiny little black specs known as chia seeds are packed full of goodness. Each one is made up of over 30% Omega 3 (eight times more than salmon). Our bodies can’t make Omega 3 so we must get it all form the food we eat (or supplements). Studies have also shown our little chia friends assist with weight loss, stabilizing our blood sugar levels, depression and lots more! The recommended daily intake is about ten grams and the best bit is they are so easy to add to your every day diet. They don’t have much flavour so you can sprinkle them on just about everything (smoothies, salads, yoghurt, oats, granola etc etc).
There are oh so many more benefits of all these seeds…this means more reasons to add them to your diet! We have been experimenting with them quite a bit and are so excited to share our paleo chia bread roll recipe! Yes…paleo…bread roll (never thought those words would be in the same sentence!)
Well it can be done and it is actually delicious!
We made these just the other night for family dinner. Perfect with our paleo ‘potato’ and leek soup. Our Dad (aka the bread-a-holic) even approved (we are slowly but surely converting him).
Always merrymaking,
