Homemade Whole Wheat Flour Burger Buns

Bread making in 2020 is in a total high – all thanks to supply demand, people staying in home; people needing a hobby to do something good at home and just some bakers baking things. Bread has been the most favorite thing to bake – And so many varieties of them too. I myself made a lot of type of breads, perfected my recipes and today in my blog to post the simplest homemade whole wheat flour burger buns.

These buns are made with whole wheatmeal. I have cut down on my refined flour intake a lot – so whole wheat flour recipe it is and you won’t even find any difference in the taste. They are wholesome, with a chewy texture perfect for your burger fillings and toppings. Toast them if you like.. these homemade buns are just so perfect for anything.

I may have mentioned in my other posts, but to insist again Yeast is my most favorite ingredient! There I said it again.. But just the wonders it does to the flour is AMAZING.

Anyhow this recipe is itself is so simple – flour, yeast,salt, water, some olive oil, milk to brush on the top and some sesame seeds. And about two hours of time – where you let the dough rise, rise again and bake, and rest. So simple to make and cut the milk or replace with some non-dairy substitute if you want a dairy free version. If you have a stand mixer, this recipe is simpler than visiting the stores for some buns or rolls.

• Once the buns are baked, brush the buns with oil right away and cover them. This step gives the soft buns.
