I decided to keep these buns in the neutral territory. The recipe has variation options listed if you would like to make them savory or sweet. How do you like your bread?

These buns can be eaten as is with some hummus, non dairy butter(yumm), extra virgin olive oil, PB and J, nut butters, with soups and more. They are also very sturdy to make burgers. The size on the pictured buns is more for a snack slider. You can make about 4-5 larger burger buns with the dough.

Steps:
In a bowl, add warm water, yeast and sugar. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes or until frothy.

Add the flours, salt, wheat gluten and oil or yogurt.

Mix with a spoon until well combined, then knead for 2-3 minutes. Use more bread flour if needed to make a soft not too sticky dough.

Spray water on top, cover with towel and let sit for 1.5 hours or until doubled.

Using 2 or more Tablespoons bread flour on your hand and on the dough, punch it down and knead for half a minute. Divide into 6-7 equal portions and roll into balls.
Place balls half an inch away from each other on parchment lined sheet. Spray water on top.
Sprinkle Sesame seeds or other seeds of choice on top.
Cover with towel and let rise for 15 minutes.
Bake at preheated 365 degrees F for 25 minutes.

Richa,
I just stumbled upon your website – and it has great recipes!
i have a question – while baking breads – is there a substitution for yeast?
Thanks,
Vaishali
not for yeast breads and buns. you can use baking powder to make quick breads and rolls, but the recipe would be entirely different. the baking powder bread doesnt need rise time, the liquid needed would be very different and it is a completely different taste and texture.
Looks delicious
What a great idea! I always want to make veggie burgers at home but I hate buying buns from the grocery store!
Another great reason not to buy store bought buns. Fabulous looking buns!
Rich, multigrain rolls sounds really nice,
Oh my goodness, look how gorgeous those rolls look! I still am talking about making rolls, but have not made any yet. I love your flour mixture, it sounds like a fun mix of flavors in your rolls:-) Hugs, Terra
These look simply perfect! You have no idea how much I’d love to be able to reach through my screen and grab one — they’d be perfect with all the soups I’ve been eating lately!
I’m amazed at how puffy these look. We live at really high elevation. I struggle to get whole grain breads to not be as dense as a brick. I’ll have to try these and see how they do!
