Add the lemon juice 16, close with the lid 17 and place the Varoma on it 18. Set the Fermentation mode to 40° for 2 hours.

Recover the leavened dough and transfer it to a lightly floured work surface, then divide it into 6 equal parts 19 and form balls 20. Place the balls on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper 21, cover with a clean cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.

Brush the sandwiches with the beaten egg 22 and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds 23. Bake in a preheated static oven at 180° for 15-20 minutes, until the surface becomes golden 24. Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool completely.
