Healthy buns which could be used for breakfast or lunch. Great for kids' lunch box. Very typical kind of bun from Scandinavia. The yeast used is fresh yeast (also called wet yeast), but dry yeast might work as well.

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.
