bakingsheet: Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns


Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
2 cups whole wheat flour, divided, plus more for kneading
1 cup water, warm (110F)
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1/4 cup wheat bran
2 tbsp brown sugar
scant 1 1/2 tsp salt


Combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup water and the yeast in a large bowl and stir well. Let it stand, covered, for 1-3 hours (time is flexible here), until nice and bubbly. This "sponge" will probably puff up, too. This is fine.

Stir the remaining flour, wheat bran, brown sugar and salt into the sponge. Add extra flour a tablespoon at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding extra flour as necessary to prevent sticking, for 6-8 minutes or until elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 1 1/2-2 hours.

Turn risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 equal portions. Shape into rounds and flatten (so they're approx. 3/4 inch thick) onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover rolls with a clean dishtowel and let rise for 45-50 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375.
Bake rolls for 19-20 minutes, until browned. They will sound hollow when the bottom is tapped. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Makes 6 buns.

7-Grain Salt-Free Bread

7-Grain Salt-Free Bread -from the Breadmachine

Ingredients:
2/3 cup 7-Grain Cereal
1 cup Boiling Water
2 tsp Vegetable Oil
4 tsp Honey
Grated Rind from 1 Orange
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
4 tsp Vital Wheat Gluten
2-1/2 tsp Yeast, Active Dry

Directions:
*Soaking grains in boiling water is an old European technique. This modern version is quickly assembled in a bread machine, then allowed to set for 12 to 24 hours while grains absorb moisture and soften, yielding a bread that is moist and nutritious with a hint of orange.

Place ingredients in bread pan in the order listed.

Select white/basic setting. Using the delay feature on your bread machine, program bread to be finished in 12-24 hours.

Yield: 1-1/2 lb loaf
