Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Yeast or 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast, instant
- 1/4 cup Sugar granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 cup Water warm (105-115°f)
- 1/4 cup Yogurt
- 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 tbsp Butter melted
- 1 tbsp Milk for egg wash
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds optional; flax seeds may be substituted
Instructions
Combine Dry Ingredients
- Mix whole wheat flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
Activate Yeast (If using Active Dry Yeast)
- If using active dry yeast, first proof it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding to the dry ingredients.
Make the Dough
- Add warm water and yogurt to the dry ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Knead with Oil
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil and continue kneading for another 2-3 minutes.
First Rise
- Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place (e.g., oven with light on) for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Buns
- Punch down the dough to release air. Divide the dough into 6-7 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Prepare Egg Wash
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and milk.
Second Rise
- Place the shaped buns onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with the butter-milk mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using). Cover loosely and let rise for 30-40 minutes, or until almost doubled.
Bake the Buns
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown.
Final Touch
- Brush the warm buns with extra melted butter immediately after removing from the oven to keep them soft.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Burger Buns:
- Water Temperature is Key: Use lukewarm water (around 105-115°F) to activate the yeast properly. Too hot will kill the yeast, too cold will slow down the rising process.
- Don't Overknead: Overkneading can result in tough buns. Aim for a smooth, elastic dough, but stop kneading once it reaches that consistency.
- Proofing Environment: A warm, draft-free environment is crucial for proper proofing. Consider using a proofer or placing the dough in a warm oven with the light on.
- Adjust Baking Time: Baking times may vary depending on your oven and the size of your buns. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
