“The Sunday Brunch” – A Traditional event which fills our hearts with emotions right away. Why you may think? Well Claire and Me, we have a strong connection to the kitchen of our families. The Sunday brunch hereby has always been an event where the family comes together and eats for hours.

The time we lived together in Amsterdam we started preserving this tradition with just the two of us or with some invited friends. Everyone brings some food and sharing is caring is the Motto. The last months we lost this tradition a little bit, but with the season changing now I have a good feeling that the Sunday Brunch will be back soon 🙂

Preparation of the ingredients

1. Give the Flour into a large bowl and form a hole in the middle. Heat up 1/4 of the pumpkin soup with 1/4 Cup of water to around 110 F (45 degrees) and solve the fresh yeast in it (add 1/2 Tbsp of the sugar to it while mixing). Now give the yeast mixture into the hole in the bowl and drizzle a little bit of the flour on top of it. Add the Oats, linseeds, and nuts into the bowl on the side (picture 2). Cover the Bowl and place it 15 min on a warm space in your kitchen (I use the oven on the lowest possible heat in the winter).

2. Now take the remaining pumpkin soup and heat it up to the same 110 F (45 Degrees C) give it to the dough basis and start mixing with a kneader or your hands. Form a dough ball and let it rest again, covered, at a warm place for another 20 minutes.

3. Take the dough out and start rolling on a clean surface with some flour to form a dough-snail which gives you 5-6 equal buns. At this stage, you mid add more and more flour if the dough is too moist. Pre-Heat the Oven 365 F (190 Degrees C).
