Ingredients

• 300 grams Whole-grain bread flour
• 7 grams Instant dry yeast
• 200 milliliters Lukewarm water
• 15 milliliters Olive oil
• 10 grams Honey
• 5 grams Salt
• 30 grams Unsalted sunflower seeds
• 15 grams Chia seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-grain bread flour and instant dry yeast.

Step 2

Gradually add the lukewarm water, olive oil, and honey to the dry mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Add the salt, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds to the dough and mix until evenly distributed.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small roll by gently rolling and tucking the edges underneath.

Step 8

Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, cover them with a kitchen towel, and let them rise again for about 20 minutes.

Step 9

Once the rolls have risen, make a few shallow slashes on top of each with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
