We all like burgers, or should I say that we all like to eat junk food. Commercially, people use all-purpose flour to make buns.
What if, if we make whole wheat burger buns and use them for our burgers? Isn’t it better to ask children to eat burgers instead of asking them to avoid it.
My whole wheat burger buns give me the capability of saying yes to as many burgers as my child wants to eat. And I will never have the guilt of allowing him to eat junk food. Not just him, I can also now have a guilt-free bite.
So a homemade whole wheat burger bun will always sound healthier. Isn’t it?
Burgers – Americans or Germans
I was always confused if the burger is an American cuisine or German cuisine. Went through a lot of posts and wiki and finally concluded that Hamburger was first made in Germany, as far as the written evidence is available.
However, the cheeseburger was invented in America.
Homemade Whole Wheat Burger Buns
Making a whole wheat bun isn’t a mammoth task. The shaping of the dough maybe a little trickier for a few. If you pick the shaping process properly, the burgers will come out to be smooth otherwise they could be rough on top.
The wheat buns are going to be heavier than a regular commercial bun for the obvious reasons of wheat flour being heavier than all-purpose flour.
If you have tried my whole wheat muffins or whole wheat bread, you know what I mean. If you follow this recipe step by step you will be excited to see shiny crust and soft crumbs of your whole wheat buns.

How to make whole wheat burger buns
In a bowl, take lukewarm water. Mix sugar and yeast into it and keep aside until yeast froths.
In a mixing bowl, take Whole wheat flour, Oil, Salt, and Yeast solution. Start kneading the dough by adding water into it.
Initially the dough will be sticky. Take out the dough on lightly floured surface and knead it for 10 minutes. You will get a much smoother and non-sticky dough.
Keep this dough into a greased pan and cover it with cling wrap. Let the dough rest until it doubles in volume.
Once the dough has doubled in its volume, take is out on a dusted surface and punch it to release the air.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts.
Shape each dough ball into a bun and keep all these dough balls on a greased baking tray by leaving some space in between.
Brush these dough balls with milk and cover with a greased cling wrap. Keep these aside for 30 min or until it doubles in volume.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees for 10 min. Now bake these buns at the same temperature for 30 min. Once baked, take these out of the oven and brush with oil/ Butter.
Your fresh, healthy, whole wheat burger buns are ready. Cheers!!
