Hello, fellow bakers, moms and dads. Today I want to share a really simple, step by step recipe. Here are instructions on how to make Home made healthy whole wheat and oats burger buns. These are soft and a little dense but wonderful to make burgers for a party or a trip.
I love breads and that is quite evident with me baking breads for us and for friends through out the week. Generally I just use all-purpose flour or maida for breads. Of late I am trying my hand at replacing maida with other flours such as rye, ragi, whole wheat and oats.
Different flours result in different texture and a very different taste. Experimentation will mean multiple recipes and that means lots of permutations and combination of ingredients. This just opens the doors to so many recipes ! (Phew that was a long sentence :D)
This is a recipe I made for friends and this was also my first use of 100% whole wheat and oats as a combination to make burger buns. I am yet to get them soft like buns made with maida but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
So here is my step towards healthy baking: Home made healthy whole wheat and oats burger buns !

Ingredients
|
|
- Sieve both the flours and set aside in a bowl.
- Set aside all the other ingredients in individual bowls before starting.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the yeast, sugar, flours, eggs, salt and warm milk and start kneading ( alternatively one can add all the ingredients to a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and start kneading)
- Knead the dough just till all the ingredients come together (Over kneading increases the gluten in the dough and the buns become dense after baking)
- Grease another large mixing bowl with little oil and lay the dough into that.
- Cover the dough with cling film or a plate and let it rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour ( or till the dough doubles in size).
- Remove the plate / cling film, punch down the dough and knead a little a bit.
- Portion out the dough into small balls and set aside ( i weighed each ball to approximately 70 - 75 gms)
- Grease a baking tray and set aside.
- Tighten by rolling each ball between your palms and tucking the skin / edges to get a smooth skin on top.
- Roll all the dough balls and place them slowly on the baking tray ( leave at least 1 inch space between each ball).
- Cover with a wet towel or cling film and let it rise for another 30 minutes ( till the dough balls double in size).
- While the dough balls are resting pre-heat the oven to 200 degree C.
- Once the dough balls rise, remove the cling film, apply egg wash using a brush and sprinkle sesame seeds on them.
- Bake the buns in the oven for 15-20 minutes or till it turns golden brown in colour.
- Once baked remove the buns and set aside for 5 minutes ( always wear mittens while removing anything hot from the oven). Apply butter on top of the buns while they are hot.
- Remove the buns from the tray and set aside on a wire mesh to cool.( cover them with a dry towel so that the top does not dry out)
- Use them to make burgers or have them as is !!!
