Here's a recipe for whole wheat hamburger buns (makes 8). Family loves them! It's a bread machine recipe, dough cycle:
1 cup water
1 egg
2 cups white flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening (I use butter flavored)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
Use dough cycle. When finished, divide into 8 roughly equal pieces (about 4 ounces each). Form each piece into a mini boule, mash down slightly, place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and let rise until almost doubled. Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a rack, slice when ready to serve.
The recipe will also make 12 hot dog buns (or 8 whole-wheat bratwurst buns). Instead of a boule, form into a roll. Follow remaining instructions.
