Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl.

Activate Yeast

  • Add honey and softened butter to the dry ingredients. Pour in warm water and mix with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, scraping the bowl frequently. Increase speed to medium and beat for another minute, scraping frequently.

Incorporate Flour

  • Gradually add more all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is easy to handle.

Knead the Dough

  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

First Rise

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 40-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Shape the Buns

  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 8-12 equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a smooth, slightly elongated bun shape. Seal the ends and tuck them under. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.

Second Rise

  • Brush the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with dried herbs. Cover and let rise for another 35-50 minutes, or until doubled.

Bake the Buns

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Brush with remaining melted butter.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Tea Time Buns

  • Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure your water is the correct temperature for activating the yeast. Too hot will kill the yeast, too cold will hinder its activation.
  • For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of finely minced fresh garlic to the dough along with the garlic powder.
  • If your dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Too sticky? Add a tablespoon of flour.
  • Don't overbake the buns! They should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Begin checking for doneness around the 35-minute mark.
