Za’atar Garlic Knots

We have always been fully subscribed to the joys of baking. For those who have made their own dough before -- you know what we’re talking about. It’s a truly satisfying experience to watch as a mixture of flour and water eventually turns into a pillowy (fun to poke) dream. In the hopes of creating baked goods -- both sweet and savoury -- that help bring a sense of occasion into your home, as well as create more opportunities for you to master the art of dough making, we created this delicious Za’atar Garlic Knot recipe, using Brodflour Spelt Flour and Za’atar from our Plant Pantry. Savoury, soft, and perfect for adding some *chefs kiss* vibes to your night in. 

Ingredients:

Your favourite pizza dough recipe (We used THIS recipe, but used Brodflour Spelt Flour and maple syrup instead of sugar)

2 tbs Brodflour Za’atar

2 tbs olive oil

2 tbs vegan butter

Salt to taste

Chopped parsley and Smak Dab Canadian Maple Mustard for serving

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 F.

While oven is preheating roll your pizza dough into a log and cut into small equal portions.

Roll out each piece, tie it in a knot and tuck the ends under (as seen in photo).

Place on lined or greased baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden.

In a saucepan heat up butter and oil then add garlic and Brodflour Za’atar and sauté until garlic is cooked.

Add knots to pan and cover them in butter mixture.

Top with parsley and salt and serve with Smak Dab Canadian Maple Mustard.

How to Include Superfoods In Your Child’S Diet?

If you think superfoods are just a fad, you’re in for a surprise. Superfoods like kale, blueberries, green tea, avocado, turmeric, nuts, and legumes are loaded with high amounts of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants and are generally lower in calories. Not only are superfoods rich in an array of nutrients, but they are also pretty delicious, which makes them a pretty solid addition to your family’s diet. Most foods that are healthy are not necessarily liked by little ones. A lot of parents struggle to feed their children healthy foods that help meet their daily nutritional requirements. If you’re one of them, you should consider incorporating superfoods or a superfood snack into your child’s daily diet. 

Here are some fun ways you can incorporate these nutrient-dense superfoods into your kid’s daily meals -  

Breakfast superfood ideas - Since most children end up having cereal at least a few times a week, a good healthy alternative to cereal is a popped water lily seeds snack. All you’ve got to do is dunk lily pops into a bowl of your choice of milk be it regular milk, oat, or a nut milk. On the weekend, you could skip milk or orange juice and instead whip up some yummy and healthy berry smoothies by blending in strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, and goji berries together with some pineapple or banana. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, little ones are sure to love this potent smoothie because of all the sweet, sour, and tarty flavors. For days when you’re in a rush, you can still choose healthy options like avocado on multigrain toast topped with some cherry tomatoes. 

Lunch and dinner superfood ideas - Whipping up a wholesome weekend dinner meal couldn’t get easier - Fill up a large pot with water, add chopped up chicken pieces, carrots, peas, and celery, a stick of cinnamon, 2 bay leaves, and salt and let it simmer over a medium flame for 30 minutes. Once done you can add some baby kale or spinach and some steamed noodles and serve it up as a healthy noodle soup. Give this yummy bowl a shot - Mix together some cooked lentils, baby greens like kale or spinach, carrot and beet shavings, chopped goat cheese, pistachios, and if you like some boiled shredded chicken, and drizzle it with some vinaigrette. Serve this colorful meal up for lunch or dinner and watch the kids down it all. 

Superfood snack options - Hands down the best plant-based snack, kale chips are a great snack for long movie nights. Another great vegan snack is popped water lily seeds, they taste very similar to popcorn and are way healthier. Need a little something to satisfy the kiddo’s sweet tooth? Puree a few strawberries and raspberries and stir them into a bowl of chia seeds and honey and refrigerate in small mason jars. For a snack that satisfies their sweet cravings as well as their hunger - mix together sunflower seeds, almonds, dried apricots, walnuts, coconut slices, hazelnuts, honey, peanut butter, a few spoons of melted dark chocolate, and a dash of sea salt, roll them into bite-sized balls, and refrigerate.
