- Cover the rolls with a damp kitchen towel and leave them to proof for at least another hour in a warm place.
- Preheat the oven to 190˚C for 10 minutes.
- Put a tray of water at the bottom rack of the oven.
- Spray the top of the rolls with some water and sprinkle the top with a mix of oat, chia seeds and almond flakes.
- Bake the bread on the top rack for 15-20 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown.
