Oatmeal & Seed Bun – No Kneading 🍞

Share

A fiber-rich bun that is quick and easy to prepare, no kneading required.

Toasted seeds on top give a nice crunch and make it extra delicious.

Perfect for breakfast with honey, jam, ajvar, or boiled eggs with a sauce of your choice.

Ingredients

• 90 g seed mix of your choice
• 360 g flour (bread flour or half cornmeal)
• 85–88 g oatmeal
• 360 ml hot water
• 20 g butter or oil, room temperature
• 7 g yeast
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp salt

Preparation

1. Prepare the oatmeal – Boil 360 ml water and pour over the oatmeal. Let sit about 5 minutes until lukewarm (~40°C). Add 1 tbsp honey and yeast. Do not add yeast while water is very hot to avoid killing it. Mix and add butter, combine well.
2. Prepare dry ingredients – Mix flour, seeds, oatmeal, and salt in a separate bowl.
3. Combine – Add dry ingredients to oatmeal mixture and mix with a spoon. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
4. Shape the dough – On a floured surface, shape into a ball, or divide into two for smaller buns. Coat smaller fireproof dishes or a pan with oil and add the dough.
5. Decorate and let rise – Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle seeds and oatmeal, press to stick. Let the bun rise for about 2 hours.
6. Bake – Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: One batch can make two smaller buns. Keep covered in the fridge to stay soft, while crunchiness is best right after baking.
