Ingredients

• 250 g Whole wheat flour
• 150 g Muesli
• 60 g Whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
• 7 g Instant yeast
• 5 g Salt
• 30 g Honey
• 200 ml Warm water
• 1 large Egg
• 25 g Butter, melted
• 25 g Skimmed milk powder
• 25 g Sunflower seeds
• 25 g Pumpkin seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, muesli, whey protein powder, instant yeast, salt, and skimmed milk powder.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix the warm water, honey, melted butter, and egg. Stir until the honey has dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix together with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

Step 5

Gently knead in the sunflower and pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Step 9

Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.

Step 10

Cover the buns with a clean, damp cloth and let them rise again for another 30 minutes until they have puffed up.

Step 11

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

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