About This Recipe
Yield:
makes 12 buns
Special equipment:
baking sheets, parchment paper, whisk
Ingredients
For the Buns
1 1/2 cups warm water, divided
1/2 ounce active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
For the Honey Butter
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup honey, or to taste
Procedures
For buns: In a large bowl, combine yeast and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir to combine then let sit for 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup water, salt, sugar, and whole wheat flour to the bowl and stir for 2 minutes. Add all purpose flour and stir until mixture is smooth, about 1 minute more. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a dish cloth and let sit until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide dough into 12 equal portions, lightly rolling each portion into a ball and placing on the baking sheets. Let buns sit for 15 minutes to rise some more. Bake buns until golden and lightly crisp on top, 20-25 minutes.
For honey butter: In a small bowl, stir together honey and butter until smooth. Serve immediately with buns or store in the refrigerator.
