    Put the flours, oats, yeast, salt, treacle, honey, olive oil and water in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine the ingredients and form a dough. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Check dough throughout kneading for stickiness; add a little more water or flour until you have a soft dough that’s not too firm
  • 40 g walnuts, chopped into small pieces, 30 g linseeds (flaxseeds), 20 g sesame seeds, 80 g sunflower seeds, 80 g pumpkin seeds, 40 g dried cranberries, 40 g dried apricots, cut into pieces, 80 g chocolate chips (optional)

  • Gently knock back dough in the bowl by folding it back onto itself several times. Cover again and leave for a further 30 minutes.
  • Tip the dough upside down onto a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle flour over the top of the dough, the part that was on the bottom of the bowl.
  • Carefully turn the dough over and pat flat until it is 2cm (3/4 in) thick.
  • Divide the dough into 15 pieces and roll into even sized balls.
  • 100 g jumbo rolled oats, to decorate
    Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the dough balls with water, Sprinkle the surface of each roll with rolled oats, and pat down gently to stick them on.
  • Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Place rolls onto lined tray leaving a 2-3cm (3/4-11/4in) gap between each roll.
  • Cover with clingfilm (plastic wrap) and leave to prove for a further 30-45 minutes, depending on room temperature.
