Ingredients

• 500 grams all-purpose flour
• 150 grams rolled oats
• 100 grams mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flaxseeds)
• 150 grams mixed dried fruits (raisins, apricots, cranberries)
• 50 grams walnuts, chopped
• 7 grams active dry yeast
• 300 ml warm water
• 50 grams honey
• 10 grams salt
• 30 ml olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, mixed seeds, dried fruits, and chopped walnuts.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the frothy yeast mixture, honey, salt, and olive oil.

Step 4

Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small bun.

Step 9

Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 10

Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30-40 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 12

Bake the muesli buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
