Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Warm milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Add the following ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer: warm water, warm milk, unsalted butter, honey, salt, whole wheat flour, bread flour, and yeast.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and let it knead and rise. This cycle typically takes about 1.5 hours, but check your bread machine's manual for specifics.
Once the dough cycle is complete, lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough onto it. Gently press down the dough to release air bubbles.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between each bun for rising.
Cover the buns loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm spot for 30–40 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Before baking, brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the buns sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
