Ingredients
- 30 g fresh yeast
- 300 ml milk
- 15 g raw cane sugar
- 200 g whole wheat flour, or white whole wheat flour if preferred
- 400 g wheat flour
- 25 g butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 50 g sesame seeds
Instructions
- Warm the milk until lukewarm. Pour it into a bowl or stand mixer, add the cane sugar, and dissolve the yeast in the mixture.
- Add the whole wheat flour and half of the wheat flour, and mix for a couple of minutes.
- Add the butter, salt, and remaining flour a little at a time. Mix or knead until the dough is smooth and elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. You may not need to use all the flour.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in the bowl for 45–60 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape them into round buns. You can gently flatten them slightly if desired.
- Cover the buns and let them rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) fan-assisted.
- Brush the buns with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake the buns for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
