Pumpkin Seed Rolls in a Jar are not only a cute gift idea but also beautiful to present and delicious. During the time I prepare them for friends and family, I make a few extra to keep in the pantry, so I have them ready to use without having to run to the supermarket to buy the ingredients, and they’re already measured. I attach a sticker on the glass jar with the date, the recipe name, and store everything in the pantry. To eat well, you just need to organize yourself, and everything becomes easier, even for those less experienced in the kitchen. However, I recommend not using plastic containers, as the release of toxic substances is continuous. Do as I do, reuse all glass jars or containers instead of throwing them away: savings and health.

Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/8 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/8 cup oat flakes
- 1 packet dry active yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Tools
- 1 Jar 500ml glass
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Parchment Paper
- 1 Baking Sheet
Preparation
JAR:
Organize your workspace with all the necessary pre-measured ingredients and tools needed to create our composition.
Create layers as you like because there isn’t a specific order, as everything will be mixed in the end.
As for me, I placed a third of the whole wheat flour at the bottom of the jar, then half the amount of oat flakes and half the amount of coarsely chopped pumpkin seeds on the same line. I continued with more flour and immediately after with the yeast,
the turmeric, and another layer of oats and pumpkin seeds. Finally, I covered everything with the remaining flour. Once the layers are finished, I closed the jar with its lid. At this point, if we decide to make it a gift, we prepare a note with the procedure and a tag to tie to the lid with the list of dry and liquid ingredients to add during preparation.
RECIPE STEPS:
Now let’s see how to prepare these delicious pumpkin seed rolls. In a large bowl, place the egg, the oil, beat well, and pour in all the contents of the jar.
Add the milk and mix all the ingredients well (if the mixture is too stiff, add a little more milk but gradually), then pour the mixture onto the work surface and knead vigorously.
After kneading the dough, place it in a cloth, close it, and let it rise for about an hour. When you uncover it, you will notice that it has doubled its initial size.
After the necessary time, knead again but only for a few seconds and divide the dough into 6 portions. Shape each piece into a ball and arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Cover and let rise for another half hour. Bake in a preheated, static oven at 350°F and let cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack so they lose all moisture, remaining crunchy on the outside and soft inside.
Fill or not your Pumpkin Seed Rolls in a Jar with whatever you prefer.
Tips
Pumpkin seed rolls can be kept for several days in a bread bag or in an airtight glass jar.
If you don’t like pumpkin seeds or oats or turmeric, you can replace them with whatever you prefer.
