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.
Add the salt and instant yeast to the dry mix and stir until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water, honey, and vegetable oil. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
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.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
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.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a bun and place them on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between each bun.
Cover the buns with a tea towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the base.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy fresh, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
