Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 large Egg wash (beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water or milk)
• 1 tablespoon Optional: sesame seeds or poppy seeds for topping

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in the warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, and salt.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the melted butter, Greek yogurt, and egg. Mix gently.

Step 4

Pour in the yeast mixture and stir to combine. The dough should start to come together.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 9

Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray, about an inch apart.

Step 10

Cover them loosely with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.

Step 11

Brush the top of each roll with the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds or poppy seeds.

Step 12

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 13

Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm as part of your meal!
