Decorating Tips:
Before baking, make shallow cuts on the top of each bun to create a pattern. Sprinkle seed mixture generously for a rustic, artisan look. For an extra shiny finish, you can brush the top with a little egg wash before adding the seeds.

Ingredients:

• 180 grams of cottage cheese (any fat content)
• 180 grams of kefir or yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 340 grams of whole grain flour
• A mixture of seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, flax, sesame)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, kefir or yogurt and one egg. Mix these wet ingredients well.
3. Add the salt, sugar and baking soda to the mixture and mix well.
4. Gradually incorporate the wholemeal flour, stirring with a spatula until the mixture becomes hard, then knead with your hands until the dough reaches a medium density.
5. Shape the dough into small loaves. Make shallow cuts on top and sprinkle a generous amount of seed mixture onto each roll.
6. Place the rolls in the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Next, reduce the oven temperature to 165 degrees Celsius (329 degrees Fahrenheit) and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the bread is completely cooked and has a nice golden crust.
7. Let the bread cool slightly before serving.
