Crafted with a hearty blend of whole wheat and bread flour, sweetened with a touch of honey, and enriched with a buttery softness, these buns strike the ideal balance between healthy and indulgent. The bread machine handles the heavy lifting, kneading and proofing the dough to perfection, while you add the finishing touches by shaping, brushing with an egg wash for a glossy sheen, and optionally sprinkling sesame seeds for a nutty crunch. Whether served alongside soups, used for sandwiches, or enjoyed fresh out of the oven, these versatile buns are a quick, easy, and satisfying way to elevate your dining experience.

Add the following ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer: warm water, warm milk, unsalted butter, honey, salt, whole wheat flour, bread flour, and yeast.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and let it knead and rise. This cycle typically takes about 1.5 hours, but check your bread machine's manual for specifics.
Once the dough cycle is complete, lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough onto it. Gently press down the dough to release air bubbles.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between each bun for rising.
Cover the buns loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm spot for 30–40 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Before baking, brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the buns sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
