Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, dissolve yeast in 1 cup + 1 tablespoon warm water (the other tablespoon is for the egg wash), add oil and sugar, and let rest for 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together flours and salt until well combined. Set aside. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Turn mixer to medium speed and add one egg and the flour in three increments or until a soft dough forms. Note: You may not use all of the flour! I still had about a half a cup left over. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Dump the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 2-4 minutes. DO NOT LET RISE. | |
| Step 4 | |
| At this point, cut and shape the dough as needed. For hamburger buns: cut into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. For mini rolls: cut into 24 pieces and roll each piece into an oblong shape. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Place dough pieces on cookie sheet(s) about 2-3 inches apart and cover with a dry towel. Let rest for 10 minutes. | |
| Step 6 | |
| Beat egg and water together, brush over the tops of the buns, and sprinkle with chia and flax seeds. | |
| Step 7 | |
| Bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and cool. | |
| Step 8 | |
| Enjoy! | |
