In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Add 80 grams of pumpkin seeds to the flour mixture and mix well, reserving 20 grams for topping later.
In another bowl or a measuring jug, mix together warm water, olive oil, and maple syrup.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl and cover it with a clean cloth. Leave it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a roll.
Place the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Cover the rolls with the cloth again and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Once the rolls have risen, brush their tops with a little water and sprinkle the remaining pumpkin seeds over each roll.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
