This recipe is good for 3-4 people.
You need:
1 packet active dry yeast 7g (1/4 oz)
1 1/2 dl (1/2 cup) water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 dl (little less than 1 cup) milk
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
7-8 dl (3 - 3 1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
1 dl (1/4 cup) whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
For topping:
1 egg
Sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds,sunflower seeds or parmesan cheese.
Instructions:
1. Heat water to approx 100 F (37C). Add yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, mix and let it stand for 10 min so the yeast becomes active. (Tip: Yeast likes the same temperature as you, if you dip your finger in the water you should not burn your finger - then it's too hot!).
2. Mix milk, olive oil and honey in a bowl, add the yeast mix.
3. Add flour. Make sure you don't add it all at once, rather add it slowly. Kneed the dough by hand until it becomes smooth 5-10 min, or in a baking machine until the dough looks firm and smooth. (Tip: It's better to add too little flour than too much. It's easier to adjust the amount of flour after you have let the dough rise).
4. Add salt.(Tip: add the salt last, to prevent the yeast from "dying").
5. Let the dough rest in a bowl for 30 min in room temperature. Cover with a baking towel.
6. Kneed the dough for 1 min. Add some more flour if the dough is too sticky. Cut the dough into 8 - 10 pieces. Roll into buns with your hands. (Tip: the less you work the dough at this stage the better. If overworked the buns tends to become harder).
7. Place the buns on an over-plate covered with a baking sheet. Make sure you have enough space between the buns to let them rise. Let the buns rest for 30 more min. Preheat the oven 437 F (225 C).
8. Mix an egg in a glass, use a spoon or a brush to cover the top of the bun in egg. Sprinkle seed or cheese on top of the buns.
9. Bake in oven for 10 - 15 min.
Enjoy!
