Knead 3.5 cups flour, milk, and yeast into a soft dough.
Rest the dough for 15 minutes so the yeast works and the dough relaxes.
Shape the dough into a round bun and press the pumpkin seeds onto the top.
Bake the bun in a 190°C oven for 22 minutes, until the seeds toast and the surface browns.
Rest the bun for 6 minutes before slicing so the inside settles with the hot steam.
💡 Tip: Pressing the seeds onto the dough reduces how much they fall off in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice and serve warm, with cheese and tea on the side.
