Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup plain skyr yogurt

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick oats (or rolled oats)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk

Seeds and Toppings

  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp flaxseeds
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp quick oats (or rolled oats)
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tbsp flaxseeds

Instructions

  1. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and plain skyr yogurt together until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, quick oats, baking powder, salt, psyllium husk, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and sesame seeds to the wet mixture. Use a silicon spatula to mix everything thoroughly until a dough forms. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes to allow the oats and psyllium husk to absorb moisture and bind the dough.
  3. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat, preparing for baking the bread rolls.
  4. Shape Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Roll the dough in flour to prevent sticking, then shape it into a ball. Use a dough cutter to divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  5. Coat with Toppings: Spread the topping mixture (2 tbsp oats, 1 tbsp poppy seeds, 1 tbsp flaxseeds) evenly on a flat surface. Roll each dough piece over this seed blend until fully coated. Shape each piece into a round bread roll, ensuring a uniform coating of seeds.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Place the seed-coated bread rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a bread lame or a sharp knife, score each roll with a shallow cross-cut on the top surface. This allows steam to escape and promotes even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the bread rolls in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until they turn a lovely golden brown color.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread rolls from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Let them cool for at least 15 minutes to set the crumb before serving. Enjoy fresh, wholesome bread packed with protein and seeds.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats for quick oats if desired; just ensure they are ground slightly if you prefer a finer texture.
  • Resting the dough is crucial for psyllium husk to fully hydrate and bind the ingredients.
  • This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to add other seeds or nuts as toppings based on your preference.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend though it may alter texture.
