Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams whole wheat flour
- 50 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams mixed dried fruit (e.g., raisins, apricots, apples)
- 50 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts)
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 6 tablespoons water
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 200 milliliters almond milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- additional flour for dusting
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water to make a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Chop the mixed dried fruits and nuts into small pieces. Add them to the flour mixture, stirring to evenly distribute the fruit and nuts.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the thickened flax egg, maple syrup, almond milk, and olive oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a bun and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 20 minutes.
Bake the muesli buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
