Whole Wheat Sun-Dried Tomato Buns
- 2 tablespoons dry yeast
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 cups unbleached flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 1 egg white, beaten with 2 teaspoons water
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1. Dissolve the yeast in a mixture of 2 cups water and the honey in a bowl; let stand until frothy to activate the yeast. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, oil, whole wheat flour, unbleached flour, garlic powder and salt; mix with a mixer or by hand. Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
- 2. Place in an oiled bowl, turning to coat the surface. Let rise, covered, in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Divide into 10 portions and shape into balls. Flatten into buns and place on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with cornmeal, brush with the egg white mixture and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
- 3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the buns for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes before slicing to fill.
