Do those rolls look just a tiny bit purple? There is a reason for that.Recently I was offered a case of 100% pomegranate juice from Janny at POM Wonderful. Finding a case of those cute little bottles on my doorstep was a little like Christmas for me!
POM juice can stand alone as a nutritious and attractive drink, nothing added or needed, with an amazing number of health benefits.Of all the creative uses for POM juice--savory marinades, rich glazes, refreshing drinks--my preoccupation with carbs led me to try the juice in one of my favorite roll recipes.
I adapted the recipe for Soft Yogurt Rolls from Baking Bites. My changes were to substitute 1/4 cup POM juice for part of the warm water, add an egg white instead of the oil, use 3 cups of flour, use 1/2 cup of yogurt instead of a full cup, and add about a teaspoon of minced rosemary. After baking, I lightly brushed the tops with garlic butter.
Besides the funky purple hue, the POM juice added a nice earthy element to the flavor and paired perfectly with the rosemary.

Wow I would never have thought of doing something like that. The tinge of purple makes them look intriguing.
