How to make rye buns with chocolate, nuts and grains

These buns need a lot of time (8-10 hours) to raise. So make the batter in the morning and bake it in the evening - or the other way around

First step: making the dough

The ingredients needed to make the first part of the dough: yeast, water, flour

Dissolve the yeast in cold water

It should look something like this

Add the flour

Knead water and flour together

Until it looks like this

Let it raise for 8-10 hours. Don't be surprised if it doesn't raise a lot; the dough is pretty "heavy"

Step two: the grains

Grains needed

Pour boiling water over

Leave it like that for a minimum of 1,5 hour, so the grains can get soft. The grains will "drink" all of the water in that time :-)

Step three: finishing the dough

The ingredients needed for finishing the dough

Chop the chocolate coarsely

Like this is good enough

Mix the sirup, salt, cocoa powder and chocolate together with the grains

Mix the dough together with the grain/chocolate mixture. This step is best done with your hands

Make 12 buns at around 65 grams each.

When making the buns; remember to make your hands wet. This will make it a lot easier

Roll the buns in chopped almonds

Like this!

Put the buns on a baking tray with baking paper. Put them in a 200 degrees (392 Fahrenheit) hot oven for 45 minutes

After 45 minutes they should come out like this - jummy! 😋
