Buns

I've tried a few different recipes for hamburger buns and have failed a few times. A couple weeks ago I found this and decided to give buns another try, making a few changes. The first time they turned out really "tall" but tasted yummy! The second time around, they were normal sized. Brent says they are very filling, but I think that's normal with any homemade breads.

The second time, I also made some into hot dog buns and those turned out great too! I forgot to take a picture, but they look like normal hot dog buns!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 eggs (one for the dough and one for an egg wash)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water. 
2. Mix in oil and sugar and let sit for a few minutes.
3. Add 1 egg, salt, and whole wheat flour and mix with flat beater attachment on speed 2 until smooth.
4. Add 1 cup of all purpose flour and mix on speed 2 until smooth.
5. Switch to the dough hook attachment. Add the rest of the all purpose flour a 1/2 cup at a time, while kneading dough on speed 2. Once all flour is mixed in, continue to knead dough for about 2 minutes.
6. Preheat over to 425* and a grease cookie sheet.
7. Break dough into 12 similar sized balls, shape like buns and put on cookie sheet.
8. Cover and let rise for 10 minutes.
9. Coat buns with egg wash and bake for 10 minutes.
