Whole grain burger buns

Author: Thomas Tranegaard Nielsen
Keyword: Bake, Bread, burger buns
Prep Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200 gram Whole Milk 5 degrees Celsius (41 degrees Fahrenheit)
  • 200 gram Water 15-20 degrees Celsius (59-68 degrees Fahrenheit)
  • 15 gram Yeast
  • 3 pcs. Egg
  • 200 gram Whole Wheat Flour
  • 45 gram Sugar
  • 20 gram Salt
  • 550 gram Wheat Flour
  • 80 gram Butter

Instructions

  • 1.    Pour water and milk into the mixing bowl, add yeast and stir it into the water.
  • 2.    Whisk the eggs with a fork and pour them in. 
  • 3.    Mix whole grain flour, sugar, and salt and add it in.
  • 4.    Add the wheat flour and mix with the dough hook for about 5 minutes at medium-low speed.
  • 5.    Increase to medium speed and add a small lump of butter at a time until all is incorporated – I pinch it off the block with my fingers so it becomes soft enough to knead into the dough.
  • 6.    Increase the speed a bit and knead until the dough leaves the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • 7.    Place a cloth over the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes. 
  • 8.    Divide the dough into 15-18 equal parts (87 grams or 77 grams each).
  • 9.    Tighten the dough pieces and roll them round – if you want a slightly flatter burger bun, press them down on top.
  • 10.    Place the buns on a baking sheet with 2-3 cm space between them and let them rise under a cloth until they just touch each other.
  • 11.    Bake them in the oven at 185 degrees Celsius (365 degrees Fahrenheit) with convection for about 15 minutes – if you want sesame seeds on top, brush with egg and sprinkle the seeds before putting them in the oven. 
  • 12.    Take them out and let them cool on a rack.
  • 13.    Make a burger.
