Ingredients
- 200 grams whole wheat flour approximately 1.5 cups plus 1 tablespoon
- 200 grams All Purpouse flour approximately 1 and 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon
- 300 grams milk, lukewarm (100 degrees) about 1 and 1/4 cup
- 14 grams canola oil 1 tablespoon
- 1 large egg
- 21 grams honey 1 tablespoon
- 9 grams kosher salt 1 and a half teaspoons
- 7 grams yeast 1 packet or 2 and 1/4 teaspoons
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
Topping
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the milk, honey, and yeast. Stir to mix and allow to sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the mixture should be frothy and bubbly. Whisk in the , oil and egg to combine. Then add flours and salt.
- Mix until soft dough forms, knead 5 minutes. The dough is sticky and this is easiest in a stand mixer. However, if you don't have a stand mixer, it can also be done by hand. Don't be tempted to add much more flour or the buns will be dense.
- After kneading, place in a slightly oiled bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Allow to rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
- When dough has doubled in size, carefully remove from bowl onto a floured surface. Turn to lightly coat the dough ball in flour which will make it easier to handle. Form a disk and cut the disk into 8 equal pieces. This is easiest to do with a bench scraper.
- Shape each piece into a ball and place on a lined baking sheet, seam side down. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise for another hour. After about an hour, buns should be puffed up.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. in a small bowl, whisk together one egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Gently brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 15-18 minutes. Buns should be golden brown. Allow to cool before slicing and serving.
