Another overnight recipe
On my Instagram story I made a poll, and the crowd has spoken. Thusly, I am posting these easy yet delicious overnight buns on here. To be honest, I was going to post it either way because they are too good to not share. Remember that these should be made the night before serving them, and so perfect for a Sunday morning.
Sunday is just a pretty great day in general. We always prepare a large breakfast and have a super slow morning. The smell of bread out the oven and freshly brewed coffee is tough to beat. There is no better way to prepare for a week ahead, than simply letting Sunday do its thing.
The Goodies:
Portion size: 7 buns
- 100 g seeds and oat mix (50 g old fashioned oats, 25 g flax seeds, 25 g hulled sunflower seeds)
- 80 g water
- 450 g cold water
- 7 g fresh yeast
- 2 tbsp greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 200 g wholegrain flour (I used this)*
- 400 g all purpose flour (I used this)*
*you can use any wholegrain and/or all purpose flour
The How (day 1):
- Mix your seed and oat mixture with the 80 g of water and let it sit for 10-15 minutes
- Add water and yeast to a bowl and stir until yeast is dissolved
- Add salt, olive oil, yogurt and stir
- Start mixing in the flour and continue to stir
- If you have a machine use this for stirring/stretching the dough. I do not have a machine and so I continued “stretching” for 20 minutes by hand
- Cover the dough in an air-tight container
- Let it sit out on the kitchen counter for 20 minutes (this should activate the fresh yeast)
- Refrigerate overnight for at least 9 hours
It is quite important that you stretch the dough for some time, as it activates the gluten and creates the fluffy-ness that we all enjoy in bread!
The How (day 2):
- Turn on your oven to 225° Celsius
- Spread some all purpose flour on your kitchen counter
- Empty the dough our of the container on the flour and “cut” out your bread buns on a baking sheet placed on a baking pan (do not try to shape your bread pieces)
- Drizzle flour and oats on for looks and let them raise until the oven is ready
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they have gained a nice colour
- Try to let them cool on a grid before enjoying them with a layer of butter or nutella 😉
Get baking (and enjoy!)
