Whole Wheat Sandwich Buns Recipes

SUPER QUICK WHOLE WHEAT BUNS

Steps:

• Combine water, yeast, oil and sugar or honey; let rest for 15 minutes.
• Add salt, egg, and flour to yeast mixture and mix well.
• Roll out 3/4 inch thick and cut into 10-12 rounds.
• Place rolls on cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Bake at 400-425 for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Be careful not to overbake or they will be too dry. Every oven is different.

WHOLE WHEAT SUB BUNS

Steps:

• Combine the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar with 1/4 cup warn water. Let set for 5 minutes until it starts to bubble.
• Add the milk, eggs, oil and remaining sugar to a mixer bowl. Mix until combined. Add the yeast.
• Measure the flours and salt and add to the bowl. With a dough hook knead the dough until it comes together in a ball. If the dough is too sticky add another 1/4 cup of white flour. Usually at this point before I do I let the dough sit and rest for up to 5 minutes to allow the wheat flour to absorb all of the liquids. If the dough is still to sticky at this point add the additional flour.
• Continue to knead the dough for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover dough and let raise until doubled. Punch down the dough and let raise again.
• Measure out the dough for either hamburger buns (1.6 oz) or sub buns (3 oz). Shape into desired shapes and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let raise until doubled.
• Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
• Bake at 350 degrees, about 20 minutes if doing sub buns and about 15 - 18 minutes for hamburger buns.

HONEY WHEAT SANDWICH ROLLS

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press start.
• When dough cycle has finished, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out 3/4 inch thick. Cut out rolls with a 3 to 4 inch diameter biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets; cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. When rolls are finished baking, brush with melted butter.

WHOLE WHEAT SANDWICH BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the water, honey, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes, until the yeast has bloomed.
• NOTE: It may be tempting to use all whole wheat flour in this recipe, but, in our testing, that method resulted in dense, tough, squat breads that barely rose when we tried to proof them. Using some all-purpose flour was necessary to give us the rise and soft, pillowy texture we wanted in a good sandwich bread.
• Pour in the wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oil, and salt, and mix until the dough comes together in a ball that does not stick to your fingers.
• NOTE: You can also do the first 2 steps in a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, mixing on low speed until the dough no longer sticks to the sides.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough a few times until it really starts to form a tight ball.
• Form the dough into a ball shape and transfer to a greased bowl, turning the dough to coat it in grease. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a wet towel and store in a warm place for 1 hour.
• Allow the dough to proof until it has doubled in size. Save the plastic wrap or towel as you'll be using it again.
• Transfer the proofed dough to a lightly floured surface and press the dough - don't stretch - into a 7x7-inch (18x18 cm) square.
• Fold the top 3rd of the square down, and the bottom 3rd up to form an even rectangle. Pinch the top fold to seal the dough.
• Roll the dough over so that the seal faces upward and fold both ends up toward the center, so that the dough has formed an even log shape about the size of your loaf pan.
• Transfer the dough to a greased loaf pan and cover with with the same plastic wrap or towel used before.
• Let the dough rise for 1 hour, until it has poofed over the edge of the loaf pan about 1½ inches (4 cm).
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Remove the plastic wrap or towel and transfer to the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the dough has browned slightly and formed a light brown crust.
• Immediately remove the loaf from the pan and set aside to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
• Store in an airtight container or bag. The bread can be stored in freezer up to 6 months.
• Enjoy!

WHOLE WHEAT SANDWICH BUNS FOR BURGERS, HOT DOGS AND MORE

Steps:

• Place the first 3 ingredients into an electric mixer and mix well (using the standard paddle).
• In a small bowl, dissolve honey into warm milk.
• Sprinkle the yeast over the top of the milk and allow to soften slightly before blending it in all the way.
• After the yeast becomes active and bubbly, add to the dry ingredients along with the cool melted butter.
• Using the the dough hook on your electric mixer, knead on the second speed level.
• After about 5 minutes of kneading, check to see if the dough consistency is correct (having come together into a smooth ball) add water if too dry, or flour if too wet, a little bit at a time until the correct consistency is reached.
• Continue kneading with mixer about 5 more minutes or until the dough appears smooth and strands of dough can be seen forming in it.
• Turn the dough out into a greased mixing bowl in a warm, draft-free area and allow to rest, covered with a towel, for 10-15 minutes.
• Sprinkle a flat baking sheet with coarse cornmeal.
• Divide dough into 8-10 pieces and roll out and form into desired shapes, tucking the seam beneath it and place the pieces onto the baking sheet.
• Place your baking sheet on the middle baking rack along with a small pan of boiling water and close the door.
• Allow the buns to rise for 20-25 minutes then empty the pan with the water and add more boiling water to it and put it back in the oven.
• Allow the buns to rise for another 20-25 minutes (about 45 minutes total).
• Take the dough out and set in a draft free area and raise your oven temperature ot 350°F While oven is heating brush buns with beaten egg and sprinkle tops with your choice of seed (optional).
• When the oven is heated, bake the buns for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
