warm water 1½ cup

dry yeast 2 tsp

white bread flour 2½ cup

whole wheat bread flour 1½ cup

salt 1½ tsp

egg (beaten) 1

sunflower seeds 5 tbsp

Instructions

Activate the Yeast

Pour ½ cup warm water into a small bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and stir gently until dissolved. Let the yeast sit for 5 minutes to activate.

Mix the Flours

Combine both flours and the salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well (a large hole) in the center of the flour.

Knead the Dough

Pour the yeast and most of the remaining water into the well, stirring gently into the flour. If necessary, stir in the remaining water to form a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and glossy. Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover with a tea towel.

First Rise

Let rise for 1.5 to 2 hours, until doubled in volume.

Divide and Shape

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Deflate the risen dough by pressing it with your knuckles. Divide the dough into 10 portions. With floured hands, shape the dough into rolls. Cover the rolls and let rest for 10 minutes.
