Steam Combi Recipe: Turkish Style Bread Rolls

Turkish style bread is often recognisable by its use of sesame and nigella seeds.  These rolls,  which are a flatter style of bread,  are an easy  and delicious way to give your meal a Mediterranean feel.
With most bread making we recommend using scales rather than cup measurements to ensure a consistent result.  
If you are using instant yeast (the very fine granule type) and you know it is fresh and alive then you can add it directly to the flour mixture as we do in this recipe.

If you arent sure if its alive, place half a teaspoon in 1/2 cup of warm water with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and wait 10 minutes to see if it starts bubbling. If it doesnt, through that batch of yeast away and buy some more
