Airy Hamburger Buns

This is a recipe made in the Bosch. The cookbook is titled "Healthy Recipes From the Heart of Our Home" by Phyllis Stanley. I'm not sure how these would work if not using a Bosch, as the Bosch does all the kneading for you. But you're willing to try and convert! The preparation includes rising time.

• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
• Yields: 24 buns

Ingredients

• 4  cups warm water (about 110)
• 1⁄3 cup maple syrup or 1⁄3 cup honey
• 1⁄4 cup vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup  oil
• 1⁄4 cup gluten
• 8  cups  freshly ground whole wheat flour (more added later)
• 3  tablespoons instant yeast (SAF or other brand)
• 1  tablespoon salt

Directions

1. Mix the first 7 ingredients on speed 1 until moistened.
2. Cover and let rise until it reaches the top of the bowl.
3. Add 1 T salt.
4. Add enough flour until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. I usually add about 2 more cups.
5. Knead on speed 1 for 5 minutes.
6. Form large balls - 6-9 per cookie sheet. Use parchment paper. Let rise 45 minutes.
7. Bake for 25 minutes at 400° until golden brown.
8. Brush with butter while still hot. Use for hamburgers, sloppy joes, anything you would use a bun for. Or eat it with butter!
