Mix oats and water in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the oats are slightly sticky. Then, add the egg, sugar, and yeast, and mix well.
Form the Dough:
Add the bread or wheat flour, salt, and olive oil to the oat mixture. Knead the dough until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.
Shape the Buns:
After the dough has risen, transfer it to a mat and divide it into 12 portions (or 8 for larger buns). Shape each portion into a round bun and place on a baking sheet.
Second Rise:
Cover the buns with plastic wrap and let them rise for 40 minutes.
Bake the Buns:
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Brush the tops of the buns with egg wash or milk, and sprinkle sesame seeds for decoration. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Pro Tips
Brush the tops with milk for a golden crust if you don't want to use egg wash.
These buns are perfect for burgers, breakfast sandwiches, or just on their own.
