Ingredients

• 300 grams Whole wheat flour
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Pumpkin seeds
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 10 grams Salt
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 30 milliliters Olive oil
• 1 Egg
• 15 milliliters Vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Stir together to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

Add 100 grams of the pumpkin seeds, reserving the rest for topping, to the flour mixture and stir well.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add warm water, olive oil, egg, and vinegar.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment on a mixer, combine the ingredients until they form a rough dough.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it once to coat the surface with oil.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 8

Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 9

Shape each portion into a roll by rolling it into a ball and flattening slightly with your hands.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).

Step 11

Place the rolls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover them loosely with a cloth, and allow to rise for another 15-20 minutes.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the rolls with a bit of water and sprinkle the remaining pumpkin seeds on top.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free pumpkin seed rolls!
