Ingredients

• 500 g Wholemeal flour
• 350 ml Warm water
• 7 g Active dry yeast
• 10 g Salt
• 30 ml Honey or maple syrup
• 30 ml Olive oil
• 50 g Rolled oats
• 30 g Sunflower seeds
• 15 g Chia seeds
• 30 g Pumpkin seeds
• 20 g Wheat bran (optional)
• 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp water, for brushing)
• 20 g Additional rolled oats or seeds for topping

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey (or maple syrup). Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

Once the yeast is activated, stir in the olive oil and salt.

Step 3

Gradually add the wholemeal flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and wheat bran (if using). Add this grain mixture to the dough and knead until evenly distributed. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes on medium speed.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round or oval roll and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Cover the shaped rolls with a damp kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes until slightly puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush the tops of the rolls with egg wash and sprinkle additional rolled oats or seeds over them.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them plain, with butter, or your favorite spreads!
