Ingredients
Granola picnic buns
- 250g strong white bread flour
- 100g plain wholemeal flour
- 150g plain white flour
- 125ml warm water
- 125ml warm milk
- 7g dried yeast (1 sachet)
- 6g sea salt
- 50g butter
- 50g butter
- 100g Lizi’s Low Sugar Granola
Egg mayonnaise
- 4 eggs, hardboiled
- Mashed with a fork with 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper
- Chives
- A dash of milk
Method
- Put the flour, water, milk, yeast and salt into a large mixing bowl. If using an electric mixer fit the dough hook and mix for five minutes. If making by hand knead in the bowl for about five minutes.
- Add the beaten egg and butter and mix together.
- Put a little oil on your hands as this makes it easier to knead the dough.
- Knead for about 8 minutes in the mixer or for ten minutes by hand on the worktop (lightly dusted with flour).
- After about five minutes kneading, add the granola and mix for the remaining time.
- Put the dough into a large bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise at room temperature.
- When the dough has roughly doubled in size, divide roughly into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- Line a flat or low sided baking tray (approx. 24cm x 24cm) with non-stick baking paper.
- Lay the balls of dough in neat rows on the tray (3 rows of 4 balls).
- Cover the balls of dough with a clean tea towel and leave to prove for at least an hour in a warm part of the kitchen.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
- Brush the rolls with a little beaten egg and sprinkle some of the granola on top.
- Put in the pre-heated oven and bake at 180C for about 15 – 20 mins or until the rolls sound hollow when you tap them on the bottom.
- Leave to cool on the baking tray.
