1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup bread flour
1 t sea salt
2 T light brown sugar, packed
1 package instant yeast
2 T warm water
2 T safflower oil
1 cup unwsweetened soymilk
2 T sesame seeds or poppy seeds, for decoration [optional]
in a medium bowl, whisk warm water with yeast. let sit for 10 minutes.
if your soymilk was in the fridge, heat it up without boiling for about a minute in your microwave. add to yeast preparation once its ready, along with oil. whisk some more.
in another bowl, whisk together flours, salt, and sugar. add to yeast preparation and stir well, using your hands once it’s hard to do so with your spoon. knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
cover with plastic wrap, let rise for 1 hour.
make 4-6 buns out of the dough. place on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
cover with a damp towel, let rise for 1 hour in a warm, draft-free place.
lightly brush buns with water, add sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top before sliding them into the oven, if you choose to.
preheat oven to 375F, bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. let cool on a rack.
