Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Stir in the active dry yeast and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. Gradually add pumpkin seeds into the dough as you knead.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack before serving.
