WHOLE WHEAT BUNS FOR HOTDOGS AND BRATS

Steps:

• 1. Place ingredients in bread machine in order listed. Run on dough setting.
• 2. Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray. Once dough is finished, remove from bread machine and divide into three equal pieces. Cut each piece into four equal sections.
• 3. Press each section into an oval shape. Adjust dough by adding/taking away so that each piece is approximately the same size. Fold oval towards you and gently pinch edges together. Roll each piece back and forth until it is approximately six inches in length. Place seam-side down on baking sheets allowing at least one inch between rolls.
• 4. Preheat oven to 350. Place rolls in a warm place away from drafts. Allow to rise for approximately 30 minutes until rolls are puffy.
• 5. Brush rolls with milk. Bake for 15-18 minutes until browned. Check at 15 minutes.
• 6. Remove rolls from baking sheets and cool on racks. For brat/hotdog buns, split down the middle. For sandwich buns, cut in half.

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.

WHOLE WHEAT BUNS (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• When dough has risen, the machine will beep to signal the end of the dough cycle. Remove from bread pan and turn out dough onto floured surface. Shape dough into 12 balls or cut dough into 12 pieces and shape into 12 pieces.
• Place balls approximately 2-3 inches apart onto greased baking sheet. Flatten balls for hamburger bun shape. Cover and let rise in warm oven 10-15 minutes until almost doubled.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on racks. Split horizontally for use. These freeze well too.

THIN SANDWICH BUNS

Steps:

• In a bowl sprinkle the sugar over the warm water, then do the same with the yeast. Add the egg and oil and combine. In a separate container, use a fork or a whisk to stir together the flour, bran, wheat gluten, and salt. Add 1/2 of this mixture to the wet ingredients and blend. This is the sponge.
• Let rise 30 - 45 minutes.
• Add rest of flour mixture and knead for about 5 minutes. I use my stand mixer with the dough attachment. This dough will be sticky.
• Spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Divide dough into 16 equal portions. This is a wet dough so instead of adding any additional flour, I weigh the dough on a food scale and divide it by 16. Then I weigh out each portion and put 8 on each cookie sheet. Don't worry about how it looks now.
• Take a 4" biscuit cutter and place it over one of the dough portions. If you wet the inside of the cutter as well as your fingers you can spread the dough into a perfect circle by using your fingers to flatten it to the inside edge of the biscuit cutter. (These will be very thin but they will rise). Remove the cutter, re-wet the inside and use it to do the same thing to the remaining 15 buns.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Let the buns rise until double in bulk, about 30-45 minutes.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Don't overbake. Cool the buns and then cut them in half for sandwich buns.
• Edit Note: Since I first started making these I've made 2 changes. One is that I make them in muffin top pans sprayed with Pam. No cutting involved.
• The other thing is that I use oat fiber instead of the wheat bran. I ordered oat fiber online. It is NOT the same as oat bran and is in many things these days, so I decided to try it instead of wheat bran. It is very high fiber, few calories, and pleasant tasting. Just use in moderation. In this recipe I use only 1/4 cup. It is 5 calories and 26 grams of fiber for the 1/4 cup. Also, it is more mild tasting than the wheat bran.

WHOLE WHEAT HAMBURGER AND HOT DOG BUNS (BREAD MACHINE)

• When dough has risen enough, the machine will beep. Remove bread pan, and turn out dough onto a floured countertop. Gently roll and shape the dough into a 12-inch rope.
• With a sharp knife, divide dough into 8 pieces for hamburger buns or 12 pieces for hot dog buns.
• Grease a baking sheet. Roll pieces of dough into balls and flatten for hamburger buns or shape into 6-inch rolls for hot dog buns. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm oven 10 to 15 minutes until almost doubled.
• Preheat oven to 400°F Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown (be careful mine cook pretty fast). Remove from oven and cool on racks. When ready to use, split buns horizontally. These will keep in plastic bag in the freezer for 3 to 4 weeks.
