Equipment
- 2 Large Baking Sheets

Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw Sunflower seeds (to be baked before adding to the soda bread dough)
- 3 ½ cups Wholegrain Rye Flour (sifted)
- 1 cup Oat Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar (organic, no additives)
- 1 3/4 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Raw Sunflower Seeds (raw – for sprinkling on top of the rolls before baking)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
- Line a baking tray with a baking sheet.
- Scatter 1 cup of raw sunflower seeds on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
- Higher the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

- Make a well in the center. Add the olive oil and vinegar into the middle.
- While gradually adding the water, mix the ingredients together.
- Knead the dough only until well blended, but don’t overwork the dough. It should be soft but not too sticky. If needed, add a slight amount of water or sifted rye flour.

- Create a large round ball.
- Immediately place it onto the large baking tray lined with a large baking sheet that was previously prepared.
