Sourdough Einkorn Crescent rolls are healthier for you, can be prepared ahead of time, and are so versatile. Enjoy them plain, or stuff them with meat and veggies and drizzle with a delicious a sauce!

Baked crescent rolls

Our family has been looking for more ways to utilize the ancient grain, Einkorn, in our meals daily. It is a much better grain option, over using modern wheat. So, I thought why not re-create one of my favorite meals growing up to include Sourdough and Einkorn flour?

I did not grow up in a health-conscious home. It was not until I was married and had a family of my own that I even cared to learn about how food affects our bodies. Now I know that food truly is medicine. Einkorn is a food that I have been enjoying experimenting with in our kitchen. It has found it’s way into more of our dishes as the days go on.

What is Einkorn?

You might be asking yourself, what is Einkorn? Einkorn is an ancient grain that has not been hybridized. In fact, it is one of the only grains that has not been hybridized.

Many of the grains we consume today have been adulterated/ changed to produce a higher yield. In doing so, these new grains lack nutritional value. Unlike Einkorn, which is un-changed and full of good things for our bodies. Einkorn has even been found in Egyptian tombs and was nearly extinct prior to 2007 when it was re-discovered. (source)

The flavor profile of Einkorn is unlike any other grain. It has a nutty flavor and does not develop gluten like modern wheat. When using Einkorn you will need to adjust the amount of liquid in your recipe. Usually, using about 15% less liquid will give you the best results.

Ways to eat a Crescent roll

Since Crescent rolls have a buttery flavor, they go well with an array of things. These rolls can be enjoyed with breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert!

Here are a few of our favorite ways to eat them:

  • Enjoy it plain alongside any main dish, such as a meat and veggie.
  • Stuff with chicken, veggies, and cream cheese!
  • Fill with fresh fruit or preserves and local, raw honey and enjoy it as breakfast or dessert.
  • Use it in place of sandwich bread. We often cook a whole chicken here in our home. It’s so delicious to stuff the dough with the chicken, homemade honey mustard dressing, and some veggies. The dough can be frozen to use in future recipes.

Supplies you will need for making Crescent rolls

  • Stand mixer, we love our Kitchen Aid (optional)
  • Spatula
  • Dough roller
  • Pizza cutter or dough scraper
  • Cookie sheet or Pizza stone
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Beeswax or Plastic wrap
