Whole wheat muesli rolls in a basket with a green cloth, one cut open, with a honey pot next to it

Ingredients

For 8 rolls

250 gr (8.8 oz.) all-purpose flour
250 gr (8.8 oz.) whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
7 gr (1/4 oz.) dry yeast (1 packet)
320 ml (1 1/3 cups) lukewarm water
50 gr (1.8 oz.) muesli
2 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp flaxseed

For brushing and sprinkling

1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp water (warm)
2 Tbsp muesli

Equipment: large bowl, stand mixer with dough hook (or strong hands), baking sheet with baking paper, pastry brush, dough scraper

Instructions

Knead the dough

1.Mix the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, sugar and dry yeast in a large bowl.
2.Add the lukewarm water and knead everything by hand for about 10 minutes or in a stand mixer for 5 to 6 minutes into a smooth dough. If it is very firm, add 1 to 3 Tbsp more water.
3.Add the muesli, sunflower seeds and flaxseed and knead briefly until evenly distributed.

Let it rise

1.Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour until it has clearly grown in volume.

Shape the rolls

1.Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) conventional heat and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
2.Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into an oval roll. Place them on the sheet with some space between them and score the tops lengthwise once if you like.
3.Cover the rolls and let them rest for another 15 minutes while the oven heats up.
4.Stir the honey into the warm water, brush the rolls with it and sprinkle with the remaining muesli.

Bake

1.Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the rolls are golden and sound hollow when you tap the bottom.
2.Let them cool on a wire rack and enjoy.

Notes

Tip from my kitchen: whole wheat flour is thirsty, so keep a glass of lukewarm water at hand while kneading and add it a spoonful at a time until the dough is supple. I stir the honey into a little warm water, so it spreads easily, the muesli sticks well and nothing burns in the hot oven. For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey. The rolls taste great with butter and jam, but also with cheese or hummus.
