  2. 2 In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut and sunflower seeds. In a small pan over medium heat, stir together the oil and honey.

Spread out in an even layer on two cookie sheets.
  3. 3 Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats and nuts are toasted. Immediately after it comes out of the oven, stir in the raisins and dried cranberries. Let stand until cooled, and stir again to break up any large clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, but I guarantee it won't be around that long!

  1. 1 Whisk flour, powdered milk, yeast, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Add butter and mix with your hands until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. 2 Gradually add water to flour mixture, using your hands to mix well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  3. 3 Lightly oil a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Gently punch down dough. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and form into balls. Cover with a light cloth and let rest 15 to 20 minutes. Dough may expand, but it's okay if it does not.
  5. 5 Place a ball of dough on a lightly floured surface and press with the palm of your hand. Bring two opposite sides of dough together and pinch. Repeat with remaining opposite sides. Pull and press dough to form a flat, elongated diamond-like shape. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover with a cloth and let rest at least 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. 2 Mix the canola oil, butter, yogurt, eggs, sour cream, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

Spoon 1 scant tablespoon of filling into the center of the circle. Bring the edges of the circle together over the filling, and pinch them together to make a fat, round little stuffed dumpling. Set the dumplings onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet, seam sides down. Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl, and brush the pogaca tops with the egg yolk. Sprinkle each with about 1/4 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
