WW Hamburger Buns & Cinnamon Rolls

Grind 7 cups Hard White Wheat Berries.
(you will need approx 8-11 cups flour)

Mix the following in a mixer with dough hook:
3 1/2 cups hot water
1/2 cup agave nectar or honey
1/2 cup olive oil or butter - room temperature
3- 4 T SAF instant active dry yeast
3 T vital wheat gluten
ADD:
3 eggs - room temperature
1 T sea salt
Mix well.
ADD: Fresh wheat until the dough begins to clean the sides of the bowl and gathers in the center, (9 - 11 cups flour). It is best to add too little than too much flour. Knead on low speed for 10 - 12 minutes. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

Take about 1/2 of the dough and roll out on an oiled surface. Your dough should be about 1 1/2'' thick. Using an oiled, round cookie cutter, press into dough and swirl quickly with your hand to create a ball.

Place bun on parchement lined cookie sheet. You can flatten slightly if you want. Brush egg white on top of buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cover. Let rise 15 - 30 minutes or until puffy. Bake at 375* for 10 - 12 minutes or until starting to brown. Let cool for 5 minutes on pan.
Place in an opened bag to cool. When cool, store in an air tight bag or freeze.
Makes 24- 36 Hamburger Buns

To make cinnamon rolls, roll out into a rectangle/oval. Mix approx 1/3 cup butter, 1/4 cup sugar and 2 T cinnamon together. Spread over the dough.

Roll up the dough, from the long side, into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Roll over so the seam is down.

Cut dough, dental floss works well, into 1 1/2 - 2 inch sections.
Place on parchment lined pan.
Cover and let rise for 15 - 30 minutes or until puffy.
Bake at 375* for 12- 17 minutes or until light brown.
Cool in opened bags. Store in air tight bag or freeze.
Frost if desired.
Makes 3- 4 dozen Large Cinnamon Rolls

Oh yummy goodness! My husband is getting quite sick of all my baking (says I'm fattening him up), but I'll have to ignore him when it comes to those cinnamon roles! He doesn't need to eat any, right?!

I must agree. Yum Oh. Where do you get large quantities of wheat berries?

Sabrina,
I order 50# bags when we place our Co-Op order from Azure Standard or UNFI. Do you have a natural foods store near you? I would ask them, most likely they will be able to purchase wheat berries in bulk for you. Our favorite all purpose Wheat Berry is the Hard White Wheat Berry. Red's or Golden 86's as good as well. Hard White has the mildest flavor, Hard Red has the strongest wheat flavor and Golden 86 is in between. Make sure you are getting Hard Wheat Berries not Soft Wheat Berries. Soft Wheat Berries are for Pastry Flour.
