Sunflower seed buns, with their vibrant yellow "petals" and nutty flavor, are a delightful addition to any meal. Here’s an easy, step-by-step guide to baking these adorable treats.
Ingredients:
For the dough: 300g all-purpose flour, 3g active dry yeast, 30g sugar, 2g salt, 1 egg, 150ml warm milk, 20g melted butter.
For the decoration: 50g black sesame seeds (or chocolate chips), a pinch of turmeric (for yellow color).
Steps:
1. Prepare the dough: Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk, let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Mix in egg, salt, and melted butter. Gradually add flour, knead into a smooth dough (about 10 minutes). Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Shape the buns: Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten slightly. For the "sunflower center," place a small piece of dough (or black sesame/chocolate) in the middle. Pinch the edges upward and press them together to form a petal-like pattern.
3. Proof and bake: Arrange buns on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle turmeric mixed with a little water on the petals for color. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
Tips: For extra flavor, add 1 tbsp sunflower seeds to the dough. Serve warm with butter or jam for a perfect breakfast or snack!
