Carrot and Sunflower Seed Bread

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Gently heat the milk in a large saucepan over low heat until lukewarm, about 3 to 5 minutes. Take off the heat, then stir in the yeast until fully dissolved. Add the egg, olive oil, sugar, and salt, mixing to combine.

3. 3

   Incorporate half the flour into the saucepan, then mix in the grated carrot and sunflower seeds. Gradually stir in the rest of the flour until a sticky dough forms. Cover the pan and leave the dough to rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Turn out the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions; shape each into a round bun. Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet, cover, and allow to puff up for approximately 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Lightly brush the tops of the buns with milk.

6. 6

   Bake until the buns are golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
