Honey Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
I’ve always had a soft spot for fresh homemade bread, and these honey whole wheat hamburger buns are one of those recipes I keep coming back to. They’re soft, slightly sweet, and honestly so much better than anything store-bought.
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg optional
- 2 –3 tbsp water as needed
Instructions
- Activate yeast in warm milk with honey for 5–10 minutes.
- Mix flour, salt, butter, and yeast mixture into a dough.
- Knead until smooth and elastic.
- Let dough rise until doubled in size.
- Shape into buns and let rise again.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes until golden.
