Ingredients

• 250 grams Whole wheat flour
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Rolled oats
• 30 grams Pumpkin seeds
• 30 grams Sunflower seeds
• 15 grams Sesame seeds
• 40 grams Dried raisins
• 40 grams Dried cranberries
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, dried raisins, and dried cranberries.

Step 2

Add the salt and instant yeast to the dry mix and stir until evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water, honey, and vegetable oil. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until a dough starts to form.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free location for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions.

Step 9

Shape each portion into a bun and place them on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between each bun.

Step 10

Cover the buns with a tea towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the base.

Step 12

Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy fresh, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
