- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.
Step 2
Add the salt and instant yeast to the flour mixture and stir to evenly distribute.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and olive oil.
Step 4
Add the unsweetened applesauce and the beaten egg to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring as you combine them until a dough begins to form.
Step 6
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 7
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 8
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
Step 9
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a round bun.
Step 10
Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover them with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 11
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) during the second rise.
Step 12
Brush the tops of the buns lightly with milk or an egg wash for a shiny finish.
Step 13
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Step 14
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
