Ingredients

• 250 g Whole wheat flour
• 150 g All-purpose flour
• 7 g Instant yeast
• 50 g Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 150 g Muesli mix (no added salt) with oats, seeds, and dried fruits
• 40 g Unsalted butter, melted
• 250 ml Warm water
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 Egg, lightly beaten

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.

Step 2

Stir in the muesli mix until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, melted unsalted butter, and honey, then mix until evenly blended.

Step 4

Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough to deflate it, then divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 8

Shape each piece into a bun and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each bun.

Step 9

Cover the buns lightly with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 11

Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg to give them a glossy finish after baking.

Step 12

Bake the 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

Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
