Whole Wheat Sub Buns are soft and delicious. Perfect for the turkey meatball subs I made.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups wheat flour
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 package yeast
  • 1/4 cup warn water
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk - can be part water
  • 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • Egg wash made with 1 egg and 2 tablespoons water
  • sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Add the milk, eggs, oil and remaining sugar to a mixer bowl. Mix until combined. Add the yeast.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees, about 20 minutes if doing sub buns and about 15 - 18 minutes for hamburger buns.
