Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 150 grams Bread flour
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 5 grams Salt
- 250 ml Warm water
- 100 ml Skim milk
- 30 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
- 50 grams Raisins
- 50 grams Dried cranberries
- 30 grams Sunflower seeds
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, bread flour, rolled oats, yeast, and salt.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water, skim milk, and melted butter.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air.
Add the chopped nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds to the dough. Knead the dough briefly to evenly distribute the add-ins.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a bun.
Place the buns onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover them with the damp cloth, and let them rest for about 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
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.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
