Honey Oat Buns

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together yeast and 1/2 cup of the warm water.
- Let stand for 10 minutes to dissolve and activate the yeast.
- Stir in remaining water, honey, oil, salt and quick oats. Stir in whole wheat and all-purpose flour, to form a soft dough.
- Turn out onto an oat-floured surface and knead until dough is smooth, adding additional flour, if required.
- Place in a lightly oiled bowl and let rest, covered for 30 minutes.
- Divide rested dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a round bun and flatten slightly.
- Place buns on a parchment-lined baking tray, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise for an additional 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Brush the tops of each bun with egg wash and sprinkle each with a few oats.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
