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, then 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 the 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 12 pieces and roll each piece into a sausage shape approximately 12 cm long. Gently flatten them to give them the shape of hot dog buns. Keep in mind that they will rise and become both taller and wider.
- 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.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
