Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes

Cover the spelt with cold water, bring to a boil, and let cool again. Mix the yeast with half the water. Combine the flour, semolina, seeds, salt, oil, honey, and the still lukewarm spelt in a bowl. Pour in the yeast mixture. Knead everything with the remaining water until you have a glossy dough. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour. Then knead the dough thoroughly and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide the dough into 16 portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover and let rise for 40 minutes on a floured baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 225°C. Cut a cross into the tops of the rolls with scissors. Brush with cold water and sprinkle with the flakes. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 200°C and bake for about 15 minutes.
