Matcha Pesto Scrolls Recipe

By Matcha Maiden

These cheesy pesto scrolls are a delicious savoury snack. They are best served hot but are also great packed in a lunchbox. We have used spelt flour so they are low in gluten, as well as being refined sugar free. You can use cheese or substitute with your favourite vegan cheese for a dairy-free option!

Dough:

  • 1 tsp yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 cups spelt flour (or choose GF flour) + extra for rolling
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tsp matcha powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil

Pesto filling:

  • 120 grams pesto sauce
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 100g grated organic cheese (or vegan cheese)
  • 1 handful fresh spinach leaves

Method

  1. Firstly prepare the dough. Place yeast in warm water and set aside for 10 – 15 mins.
  2. Sift flour into bowl. Add baking powder, salt and matcha.
  3. Then add olive oil and yeast/water to the dough, mixing well. Cover and leave in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
  5. Using a rolling pin, roll dough into an oval shape on a floured board, around 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Mix matcha powder and pesto, stirring well. Spread pesto over the dough and add spinach leaves and a sprinkle of cheese.
  7. Roll dough and cut into slices.
  8. Transfer to a greased baking dish and place in oven for approx. 30 minutes.
  9. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and garnish with toasted pine nuts (optional). Scrolls are best served hot.
