Preparation:

Place the coarse sugar/flower petal mixture in a separate small bowl.
Vegan version: warm 300 ml of oat drink (see the milk line in the can) and 80 g vegetable fat in a saucepan until the fat dissolves. Let it cool down to lukewarm.
Classic version: lightly heat 300ml of milk (see milk line in the can) and 80 g butter in a saucepan until the butter dissolves. Let it cool down until it is lukewarm and stir in an egg, stirring for 2 minutes.
Add the lukewarm mixture to the baking mix and knead well for about 4 minutes (or use a mixer).
Cover the bowl and let the dough rest in a warm place for 30-60 minutes.
Knead the dough well again, shape as desired and cover. Then let it rest in a warm place for another 20 -30 minutes.
Pre-heat the oven (electric 180°C).
Vegan version: cover with plastic wrap.
Classic version: brush on an egg-wash mixture (mix 1 tablespoon of milk & 1 egg yolk) and cover with plastic wrap.
Sprinkle the bread or rolls with the coarse sugar and flower petal mix.
Bake in the oven for approx. 25 minutes, remove from the baking sheet and let cool for 10 minutes.
