Method
Step 1
Put the flours into a large bowl with the salt and butter. Rub together with your fingertips to make crumbs. Add 2 tbsp each of poppy and sunflower seeds.
Step 2
Add the muscovado sugar and yeast. Gradually pour in the warm water and mix together to make a rough dough.
Step 3
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and stretch and knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Cut the dough into 12 even sized pieces, make each into a smooth ball. Grease two baking sheets and arrange 6 buns onto each, keeping them well spaced apart. Sprinkle over the reserved teaspoon each of poppy and sunflower seeds. Cover loosely with cling film. Leave in a warm place until doubled in size. (This will take about 30 minutes).
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan, gas mark 7). Remove cling film from bread and reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (180°C fan, gas mark 6). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until risen and golden.
Step 6
For a special meal, why not put the unbaked dough into well greased mini terracotta flowerpots. Rise bake and serve rolls in the pots for a stylish effect.
