These are brilliant. I made them yesterday & hubs couldn’t get over that they were 100% whole wheat and tasted so good…my 4 year old was asking for some for breakfast..so needless to say they’ll be added to our recipe collection. Thanks!

WhiteCedar,

Yes, my glasses are right at 3″ across. I give the buns about 2″ on each side to allow for the dough to expand without them sticking together. You have to try this recipe!! I think you’ll find it very easy Definitely make sure the dough is an inch thick before cutting. Let me know if you try them!!

Your hamburger buns look beautiful.

My own experience has been less satisfying in that I can never get them to form the right shape after they’ve risen. They tend to look like mini-round loaves of bread,and not a bun that’s waiting for a hamburger. I’m sure that rolling them to 1″ thickness is the key.

This may be a silly question, but what is the diameter of your drinking glass? Around 3″ maybe? Do they expand sideways much when rising?

Thanks very much for your ideas and your efforts

Kendara,
This made a good loaf bread too. I ended up just forming it in an artisan bread style and it came out great. The loaf was huge but still thick. This just might be that all purpose bread recipe you have been looking for.

Mona,

I’ll have to try the honey substitute next time! As I was making these it crossed my mind that this dough was very similar to my roll recipe also, and I wondered how it would work for pizza dough. I was thinking, if I could just find one good all purpose bread recipe for rolls, pizza dough, bread, ect, that would be great!!
