We’re Making Bread Like The Little Red Hen!

Easy Whole Wheat Buns

Ingredients:
• 3 cups warm water
• 9 tablespoons warm water
• 1 cup canola oil
• 3/4 cup sugar or 3/4 cup honey

Canola oil spray

Makes 25 buns

Directions:

Prep Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins

1. Combine water, yeast, oil and sugar or honey; let rest for 15 minutes.
2. Add salt, egg, and flour to yeast mixture and mix well.
3. Roll out 3/4 inch thick and cut into even chunks for each child. They can each form them into rolls of whatever shape they like. Coat buns lightly with oil.
4. Place rolls on cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray or smeared lightly with oil. Cover with a lightly dampened dish towel for 30-45 minutes or until risen.
5. Bake at 400-425 for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Be careful not to overbake or they will be too dry. Every oven is different.

Congratulations!
