Ingredients
-
1 cup milk
-
1 ¾ ounces fresh yeast
-
1 egg
-
3 ⅓ tablespoons olive oil
-
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
4 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
-
2 small carrots, grated
-
5 ½ tablespoons sunflower seeds
-
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Warm 1 cup milk in a large saucepan over low heat until it reaches room temperature, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in yeast until dissolved. Mix in egg, olive oil, sugar, and salt.
-
Stir half of the flour into the saucepan. Add carrots and sunflower seeds. Stir in remaining flour until dough is sticky. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
-
Divide dough into 12 pieces; roll into small buns. Arrange buns on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise until puffy, about 15 minutes.
-
Brush tops of buns with 1 tablespoon milk.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
Cook's Note:
For a more rustic look, dust buns with a bit of flour before the second rise.
