Preparation :

1. Pre heat the oven at 190⁰C for 10 mins.
2. In a small bowl, combine the yeast, water and 1 tsp of the sugar and give it a little stir. Let it sit for about 5 mins, until it becomes foamy on top. In a large bowl, mix together the flours, salt, remaining 2 tbsp sugar and the pumpkin, flax, sunflower, poppy and sesame seeds.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, golden syrup and 2 eggs. When the yeast is foamy, add it to the dry mixture, immediately followed by the egg mixture, and stir to combine. Knead for 7 to 10 minutes, until you have nice smooth dough, adding more flour as necessary. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until doubled in size for 2 to 3 hours.
4. Punch the dough and knead it for some time. Weigh the dough and divide the dough into 40 gms each.
5. Shape the dough into roundels and place it in a greased baking ting (like a flower). Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 30 mins.
6. Give an egg wash to the dough, sprinkle some seeds and bake for 25 mins.
7. Once complete, glaze with butter and rest for 10 mins before serving.
