Healthy Buns - The Ones You Eat

I really like bread with a lot of grain, because it tastes better than just white bread, and it's a lot healthier and it'll keep you full for a longer time. :)
I have modified a bun recipe, and both me and Bjarke have grown quite fond of these buns. We eat them in the morning and as lunch with any kind of spread you like. :)


Here's the recipe:

16 healthy buns

Make the dough before you go to bed, because it's supposed to raise for approximately 8 hours.

You'll need:

  • 100 g 5-grain mix. (contains: split wheat grains, split rye grains, shelled sesame seeds, linseed and sunflower seeds)
  • 100 g split wheat grains
  • 200 g graham flour
  • 200 g durum flour
  • 300 g wheat flour 
  • 7,5 dl cold water
  • 35 g yeast
  • a teasp. salt
 Mix the flours and grain together with salt and yeast in a big bowl with a hand mixer. Mix the water in and mix for 5 minutes. It should be quite sticky and wet but not liquid.
Cover the bowl with cellophane and put it in the refrigerator. Let it stay the night. :)

In the morning, turn on the oven on 275 degrees Celcius, take another smaller bowl, and fill it with nice tepid water, and take out the bowl of dough from the fridge. Now make 16 buns by dipping your hands in the water and grab a portion of the dough and making it round. :) Repeat.

Wait till the oven is ready and put in the buns. Roast for 8 minutes, and turn the oven down to 225 degrees Celcius, and bake for another 15 minutes.

I have a fan oven, but I think a regular oven will do just as well. :)

Well, now they're done, and you can go ahead and eat healthy for a couple of days. You can put them in the freezer as well, as long as you warm them in the oven afterwards.
