Today is my birthday… so I'm making carrot buns based on my own recipe, they are sweet and deliciously fluffy - and tastes great when cut in half and served with a bit of cooled butter on top :-) Yum!.
STEPS
1. In a large bowl, mix together the lukewarm milk and the yeast.
2. Add the egg, sugar, grated carrot, sunflower seeds, melted butter and salt.
3. Add flour and knead until smooth and elastic - the dough should still be a bit sticky for best result.
4. Place the dough back in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour.
5. Punch down dough and divide into 16 equally sized portions.
6. Shape each portion into a ball and place on greased baking sheets (not too close since the buns will rise quite a bit).
7. Cover the buns with kitchen towels and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour.
8. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius (convection).
9. Bake the buns for about 13 minutes and let them cool.
