How to Make Flax Seed Cloverleaf Rolls
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add melted butter, egg, salt, and flaxseed to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a small ball. For each roll, press your thumb into the center of the ball, making an indentation. Fold the edges of the indentation to make three sections, slightly overlapping to form the clover shape.
- Place the shaped rolls into a greased 12-cup muffin tin. Cover loosely and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Optional: Brush the rolls with milk or cream and sprinkle with extra flax seeds before baking.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from muffin tin and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
