Chop the nuts into smaller pieces if you like. Also chop the dried fruit into smaller pieces. I like using scissor for this. Set the nuts, dried fruit and any other "toppings" aside for later.
Preheat oven to 150-175 C degrees.
Measure the oats, bran and seeds into a large mixing bowl.
Measure the water, salt, coconut oil and honey into a pot. Heat until salt and honey have dissolved.
Pour the liquid onto the dry ingredients and mix until all the dry ingredients have taken in some of the moisture. Easiest way to mix is to use your hand but a wooden spatula does the trick too. Add liquid if necessary. The granola should be moist enough to form small "granola lumps".
Spread the granola evenly onto a baking tray covered with baking parchment. Let the granola dry and roast first for about 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes or so add the nuts to the baking tray and mix in with the granola. It is good to give the granola also a little mix at this stage.
Roast the granola and nuts for another 15 minutes or so, until golden brown and dry throughout.
NOTE: Keep your eye on the granola and the oven temperature, as you don't want the granola too dark. Mix and turn the granola every 5-10 minutes towards the end of roasting to avoid burning.
Add the dried fruit and toppings once the granola has come out of the oven. You can add them while the granola is still hot/warm.
Let the granola cool down completely before putting it into a jar to store it.
