Scale
- 1–1/2 cups room temperature water or milk
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or more water/milk)
- 2 teaspoons or 7g dry active yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 100 grams of carrots, finely shredded
- 25 grams of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 10 grams of chia seeds
- 10 grams poppyseeds
- 10 grams of sesame seeds
- 350–400g flour (I use spelt or einkorn but you can try oat flour for GF version)
- 1 large egg, beaten with a big splash of water
- more seeds to sprinkle
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the water or milk, buttermilk, yeast, and honey.
- Keep whisking vigorously until the yeast has dissolved and no granules are left.
- Next whisk in the carrots, olive oil, salt, and seeds. With a large spoon or rubber, spatula stir in the flour until a loose sticky dough forms, starting with 350g and adding more in small amounts if needed.
- Cover the dough and let it rest in the fridge for at least 12 hours up to 25 hours.
- Once the dough is ready preheat the oven to 400 F and lay a piece of parchment on a large baking tray.
- Scoop about a 1/4 cup of the mixture into a rustic ball shape and place it on the tray. Repeat until all the dough has been scooped, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with extra seeds before baking.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes in the oven or until the buns are perfectly crusty and golden brown. Let the buns cool all the way, for 20-30 minutes, before enjoying!
