These soft, lightly sweetened seed rolls are enriched with honey and sugar, giving them a Mezonot blessing according to the recipe's tradition. They're packed with nutritious seeds and make a delicious addition to breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1½ tablespoons dry yeast

• 1 cup mixed seeds:

• 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

• 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

• 1 tablespoon flaxseeds

• (Fill the remainder of the cup with additional mixed seeds)

• ½ cup sugar

• ½ cup honey

• ¼ cup oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup lukewarm water

• 1 beaten egg, for brushing

Instructions

1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and knead well until a smooth, uniform dough forms.

2. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

3. Once risen, divide the dough into individual rolls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. Brush the tops with the beaten egg. For a richer color, you may mix the egg with ¼ teaspoon instant coffee before brushing (optional).

5. Bake in a preheated 180°C (350°F) oven until the rolls are golden brown.

6. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve.

Enjoy!
