Hamburger buns
Found this recipe on cooks.com, made a few notes to make it easier to understand. I'm going to post this to recipezaar in a few minutes. It's a great recipe, not too complicated or labor-intensive (the rise times are what kills!), and provides a great result.
WHOLE WHEAT HAMBURGER BUNS
2 pkgs. fast rise yeast
1/4 c. lukewarm water
2 c. hot water
4 tbsp. non-fat dry milk
1 tsp. salt
3 c. white flour (I had to add an additional cup to get a "doughy" consistency)
1/4 c. oil
1/4 c. honey
2 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
Dissolve yeast and lukewarm water in a cup. Pour the hot water over the whole wheat flour and stir; add dry milk, oil, honey, and salt; stir well. Let cool and then add the yeast mixture; beat with electric beater or place in processor for 3 minutes. Knead in the remaining white flour to make a soft dough. Let rise until light and double in bulk. Punch down and let rise again. Place on floured table and roll out about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter without the "hole" or a small can the size of a bun. Let rise again and bake at 375 degrees F. 25 minutes. When done, brush the tops with oil or butter. Cut in half, serve warm.
*Let rise for 30-45 minutes each time. Keep in mind the buns will rise a bit while cooking.
