Equipment
Ingredients
For the Bread Dough
- 280 ml Water (1 cup + 3 tbsp)
- 6 g Salt (1 tsp)
- 3 g Yeast (1 tsp)
- 45 g Sunflower Seeds (1/4 cup)
- 400 g Flour (3 cups loosely packed + 1 tbsp)
For Coating the Bread Rolls
- 35 g White Sesame seeds (1/4 cup)
- 35 g Black Sesame seeds (1/4 cup)
- 45 g Sunflower Seeds (1/4 cup)
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, add water, salt, yeast, sunflower seeds and flour.
- Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes by hand or using a stand mixer until smooth and elastic.
Proof the Dough
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or a lid and let the dough sit in a warm environment for 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Divide and Shape the Rolls
- After proofing, degas the dough by gently pressing out the air.Apply a bit of oil to your hands to prevent sticking.Form the dough into a tight ball by dragging the dough through the sides of bowl.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
- Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Tuck in the edges towards center and flip it upside down and then roll with cupped hand to form tensive dough ball.
Coat the Morning Rolls with Seeds
- In a shallow bowl, mix black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds (or your preferred seed mix).
- Lightly brush the top of each roll with water to make the surface sticky.
- Roll the buns in the seed mix until well coated.
- Then place them on a parchment lined baking tray.
Final Rising
- Cover the baking tray with cling film and let the buns rise for 50-60 minutes or until the rolls get really puffed up.
Bake the Danish Morning Buns
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).Bake the buns for 22-24 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the rolls on to a cooling rack, so that steam will not get entrapped underneath and the bottom will not get soggy.
- These seeded morning buns are best to have while they are fresh and warm.

Notes
As this Danish Morning Buns dough is a slightly sticky dough, applying some oil in hands while you degas the dough will help to make smooth dough ball.
While shaping the rolls dust the work surface with just enough flour and you will find it easy to shape them. Don't forget to make the surface clean or dust free while rolling with cupped hands and thus you can shape them into small tensive dough balls.
