For the whole wheat rolls, knead all ingredients except the milk and a handful of sunflower seeds into a smooth dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.
Shape the dough into 20 rolls and place on a baking sheet, spacing enough apart, brush with the milk and sprinkle with the remaining sunflower seeds.
Let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220°C / top and bottom heat and bake the wholemeal rolls for 25 minutes.
Preparation Tip:
If you place a container of water on the bottom of the oven during baking, the crust of the whole wheat rolls will not be as hard.
