Ingredients
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Pumpkin seeds
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 15 grams Sugar
- 40 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 250 ml Milk
- 1 large Egg, beaten
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin seeds, instant yeast, and sugar.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and warm milk. Ensure the milk is just warm, not hot, to help activate the yeast without killing it.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Step 4
Once the dough begins to come together, add the beaten egg and continue kneading for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air, then divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Step 7
Shape each piece into a small roll by tucking the edges underneath, creating a smooth top, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Step 9
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 10
Once the rolls have risen, place them in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 11
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
