Carrot and Sunflower Seed Bread Rolls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Carrot and Sunflower Seed Bread Rolls.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   In a large saucepan, gently warm 1 cup of milk over low heat until it feels just right at room temperature, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once warmed, take it off the heat and stir in the fresh yeast, ensuring it dissolves completely.

4. Step 4

   Next, add in the egg, olive oil, sugar, and salt, mixing everything together until it’s beautifully combined.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to bring in the flour! Gradually mix in half of it, then fold in the grated carrots and sunflower seeds, creating a delightful texture.

6. Step 6

   Continue adding the remaining flour until your dough becomes pleasantly sticky.

7. Step 7

   Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size—this is where the magic happens! After it has risen, gently divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a charming little bun shape.

8. Step 8

   Place these buns on your prepared baking sheet, giving them enough space to spread out as they rise.

9. Step 9

   Cover them again and let them puff up for another 15 minutes.

10. Step 10

    For that lovely golden finish, brush the tops of the buns with a tablespoon of milk before they head into the oven.

11. Step 11

    Bake your buns in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
