Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Colander and cheesecloth if using zucchini
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment
  • Cast iron

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cup coconut yogurt
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • ¼ cup carrot grated, optional
  • ¼ cup zucchini grated, optional
  • 1¾ cup oatmeal
  • ¾ cup whole-wheat flour
  • 3 cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 4 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • If using grated zucchini, first add it to a colander with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, and then using a cheesecloth or strainer, strain as much liquid as possible out of the zucchini.
  • Combine the yogurt, water, yeast, carrot, zucchini, oatmeal, whole grain flour, white flour and salt to a bowl, and using a wooden spoon, carefully stir until a dough is formed.
  • Pour the seeds over top, then cover and set in the fridge overnight, for at least 8 hours.
  • When ready to bake, set the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Using a large spoon, divide the dough into 12 to 14 buns, and place on the baking sheet (you will want to do this 6 at a time). 
  • Place the buns in the oven on the center rack. 
  • To ensure crisp buns, place a cast iron pan in the bottom of your oven, and quickly pour in 3 to 4 cups of warm water into it. Quickly shut the door to trap in steam, which will make the crust of the buns crispy.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until browned on the bottom and top. Remove and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Store in a sealed container on the counter for up to 4 days.
