Author Tracy

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cups bread flour
  • 1 egg beaten for egg wash
  • 1/4 cup of sesame seeds for sprinkling on top*

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, activate yeast by adding it to warm water and add oil and sugar and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the egg and salt.
  • Add the whole wheat flour and mix well. Then gradually add the last cup of bread flour until a soft dough forms. If it's still very sticky, add a bit more flour until it's nice and soft.
  • Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 3-5 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
  • Place 3 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise for 15-20 minutes.
  • Brush each bun with egg and then sprinkle on sesame seeds or toppings of choice.
  • Bake buns for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on wire rack.

Notes

*Or poppy seeds, dried onion flakes, whatever you'd like!
