Instructions
Combine the yeast, yogurt, water, carrot, parsley, oatmeal, whole-wheat flour, plain flour and salt in a bowl.
Carefully stir with a wooden spoon until the dough forms.
Sprinkle the seeds over the top, then cover and leave in the fridge overnight, for at least 8 hours.
Preheat the oven to 220C (425F) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Use a large spoon to divide the dough into 6 buns and place on the baking sheet.
Place the buns on the centre tray in the oven.
For extra crispy buns, place an ovenproof pan in the bottom of the oven, and quickly pour in 3 cups of warm water into it. Immediately shut the door to trap in steam, ensuring the oven is shut properly. This will make the buns crusty.
Bake for 25-30 minutes the buns are evenly golden.
Allow to cool completely before slicing.
