  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 3/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
Procedure Mix sugar, yeast, whole wheat flour, salt, garlic powder, pepper and all-purpose flour in a mixer. Mix water, milk and butter together and knead the mixture for 8 min. After enough kneading, this ball of dough is kept in a greased bowl in a plastic wrap for about 1 hour. The dough becomes double the size after one hour. Deflate the dough, and scoop it on a surface floured with some all-purpose flour. Cut it into equal pieces and flatten each piece into a disc. Spritz oil on these pieces and cover them with plastic sheets. In the meantime, heat the oven to 400°F and whisk an egg in 1 tablespoon of water. When the disc doubles in size in an hour, brush the tops with the whisked egg mixture. Place these discs in the oven for 15 min, and allow the buns to cool before you cut them.

Ordinary white wheat flour does not contain bran and germ; but whole wheat does.
