Sandwich Buns with Wholegrain

Whole grain flour has a way of adding an earthy taste to “bland” white flour buns. So whether you layer your buns with cheese, lettuce, and your favourite cold cuts, or lovingly lather them with a chocolate spread for breakfast.

This is an easy beginner-friendly bread recipe that anyone can make without a stand mixer. But if you have one, save yourself the arm workout and use it 😉

How To Make Sandwich Buns with Wholegrain

Tip the white, wholegrain flour & instant yeast into the mixing bowl⠀

If you’re using active yeast, you need to activate it in the warm milk before adding it to the flour.

Pour the lukewarm milk over the dry ingredients⠀⠀

Mix to form a shaggy dough, tip the mixture over the counter, and knead for 5 minutes.

Spread the butter and sprinkle the salt over the dough, knead until smooth, and the dough springs back when pressed. ⠀⠀

Put the dough in a lightly buttered bowl, covered with cling film, and leave it to double in size in a draught-free space.⠀⠀

Portion the dough into 8 -10 equal pieces (depending on how big or small you would prefer them). Roll them into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Give ample space between them as they will spread while proofing and baking.

Glaze them with egg wash (1 egg and 2 tablespoons of milk), sprinkle your desired seeds

Bake the sandwich buns at 200°C / 392°F for 20 minutes, rotating the baking tray halfway through.⠀⠀
