I find most 100% whole wheat buns are very dense, and let's be frank, taste like the floor of a barn. This recipe is an adaptation of my Mom's Air Buns #168628, and makes delicious, soft, healthy,and easy to make rolls. I think the unusual addition of vinegar is what makes the difference. Edited to include links to Mom's 100% Whole Wheat Air Loaf in Abm, and Mom's 100% Whole Wheat Air Loaves for those of you who wish to make whole wheat loaves instead of buns...same great taste and texture!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/4 cup shortening or 1/4 cup soft butter
1/4 cup sugar or 4 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons gluten
4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (minus 2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
Directions:
1. Put water, butter, honey, salt and vinegar in the machine.
2. In the bottom of a one cup measure, put 2 tablespoons of gluten, and then fill the cup with W.W. flour.
3. Put that, and another 3 1/2 cups of flour on top of the liquids.
4. Add yeast to surface, and programme for dough cycle.
5. I make two 9 inch pans of rolls, each with 9 rolls per pan, and let rise until double (the rolls will fill the pans).
6. Bake at 350°F (I use convection bake) for approximately 20 minutes. Rolls will be deeply golden and oh so yummy.
