Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 Egg
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves, then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and chopped rosemary.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the olive oil. Add this mixture to the yeast mixture.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment until the dough comes together.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can knead the dough in a stand mixer for 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch the dough down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced evenly apart.

Step 8

Cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the buns with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 10

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Remove the buns from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
