"I submitted Mom's 100% Whole Wheat Air Buns (#168802) recently, but I have done some tweaking of that recipe, (which does not contain egg or milk), and I like this one better. Unlike many whole grain breads, these rolls are delicious, soft, and light. This is a reincarnation of Mom's Air Buns #168628, which uses white flour, and is a winner in the taste and texture department, but this one is much healthier because of the added protein and fibre."

Ingredients:: 14
Yields:: 16 rolls
Serves:: 16

ingredients

1 egg
1 ¹⁄₄ cups warm water, approximately
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons skim milk powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seed
2 tablespoons flax seeds
¹⁄₂ cup large flake oatmeal
2 tablespoons gluten
4 cups whole wheat flour, minus 2 Tablespoons
2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

directions

Put egg in a 2 cup measure, whisk, and add enough warm water to come up to the 1 1/2 cup line.
Put this water/egg mixture, oil, honey, salt, vinegar, oats and seeds, in the bucket of the bread machine.
Sprinkle the powdered milk on top.
In the bottom of a one cup measure, put 2 tablespoons of gluten, and then fill the cup with whole wheat bread flour.
Put that, and another 3 cups of flour on top of the liquids.
Add yeast to surface, and programme for "dough" cycle.
You may need to add an additional tablespoon or two of water to give a smooth slightly sticky dough when the machine begins to knead.
I make either 2 9" round cake pans of rolls, each with 8 rolls per pan, or one pan of rolls, and form the other half of the dough into a rounded loaf, and let both rise till double (the rolls will fill the pans).
Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes for the rolls, and approximately 25 minutes for the loaf. The rolls will be deeply golden brown, and oh so yummy!

Yummy! I shaped these into 16 hot dog/brat buns and skipped the seeds since i didn't think that would go well with the hot dogs! I also skipped the gluten, didn't have any and they still turned out good but had to add another 1/4 cup water.

Best whole grain bread I've made with or without a bread machine! Love the seeds, love the texture and flavor, mixed in my bread machine and baked as a loaf in the oven. Fabulous!

I see it's been over 5 years since this recipe was originally posted. It still rocks in 2012 Sweet Baboo! Thanks - it worked out great - exactly as written.

I made this today in my ABM exactly as written except that I used regular whole wheat flour because I couldn't find whole wheat bread flour. That made me pretty nervous, but this still turned out AMAZING! Make no mistake - this is DEFINITELY a whole grain bread and has a whole grain texture...but it is a nice light whole grain bread. I got lazy & cooked the whole thing in my bread machine & it turned out just perfectly. The kids liked the taste and I like the taste AND the nutrition! Thanks for sharing!

this is a really good recipe, I had Thank you so much for this recipe, I've owned a ABM for three months and this is by far the favorite. I tried the old version which was good and I agree this is better, I was going to use it to make pizza crust and rolls so I did not add the seeds but I think the other additional ingredients were nice. Made Pizza on a Silpat mat and turned out so very nice, recently learned that many silicone baking items have been given seal of approval by the green people and they are I think they are amazing.

For someone as outgoing as I am, it is astounding that I have been unable to do something as seemingly simple as filling out my home page, so consider this draft one...(or would that be daft one??)... I am blessed to live an ordinary life, have family that I dearly love, get great reward from volunteer work, and have the luxury of indulging in far too much time cooking and reading about food. I am a retired nurse and have been married to a really wonderful man for 37 years. I am a happy person, and my life is very satisfying, but somehow I can't translate the essence of ME into words, as some on Zaar have done so well. I particularly enjoy reading reviews, and the Q&A forum for all the expert and generous advice that the members share. Since joining Zaar, I rarely use my extensive cookbook library...this is one terrific site. <img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG alt= />
