Crispy oat and sunflower seed bread

I decided to make my own bread today instead of going to the grocery. :)

1 bread:

9dl flour 
1 sachet of yeast (11g)
2,5 tsp salt
25g almond chips (or other seeds/nuts)
1,5 dl oat flakes
handful of sunflower seeds
3dl water 

1. Mix the dry ingredients together.

2. Add the water and knead the mix until the dough becomes firm and does not stick to the bowl or to your hands.

3. Let the dough rise in size for about 20 min.

4. Knead the dough on a floured table and form a bread from it.

5. Put the oven to heat to 240'C and let the bread rest a little on a baking tray while waiting for the oven to heat.

6. Put the bread in the oven (You can also put a small water filled cup next to the bread - this makes the bread crispy.) for about 20-30min.

7. Take the bread from the oven and let it rest a while.

I enjoy my bread with plain butter - yum. :)

Quark buns

I made these quark buns because I wanted to try to come up with something new. They ended up tasting really good! 

First I did the basic buns and let the dough double in size.

(about 30 buns)

The quark filling:

2 eggs (+ 1 to spread on the buns)
250g fat-free quark
60g Smetana (or sour cream)
2dl sugar
2dl cream
1 tsp vanilla sugar 

1. Do the basic buns and let the dough double in size.

2. Roll small dough balls between your hands and let them double in size on a baking tray.

3. Mix all the filling's ingredients together with a blender.

4. Push some holes to the bun balls e.g. with a glass to create a "nest" for the filling.

5. Heat the oven to 190'C.

6. Fill the holes with the filling.

7. Spread some egg on the buns with a brush.

8. Sprinkle some sugar on the buns.

9. Bake the buns in the oven for 10-15min until they are golden brown.
