In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Add sugar for a touch of sweetness which also helps the yeast.
Gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil into the dry mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as necessary.
Press the dough into a flat rectangle and spread 75 grams of pumpkin seeds evenly over the surface.
Fold the dough over the seeds and knead gently until the seeds are well incorporated.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled 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.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and gently deflate it.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round roll ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a splash of water to make an egg wash. Brush each roll lightly with the egg wash.
Sprinkle the extra 30 grams of pumpkin seeds on top of each roll, pressing them gently into the dough so they stick.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 20 minutes, until puffy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin seed rolls!
