Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (or neutral oil)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together warm water, milk, melted butter, and the egg.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a sticky dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic (if it's too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time).
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced a few inches apart to allow them to rise and expand.
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the buns rise for 10 minutes in a warm spot. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during this time.
If desired, brush the tops of the buns with a little milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
