Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, muesli, whey protein powder, instant yeast, salt, and skimmed milk powder.
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.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix together with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
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.
Gently knead in the sunflower and pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
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.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.
Cover the buns with a clean, damp cloth and let them rise again for another 30 minutes until they have puffed up.
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.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
