Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns

I was craving hambugers a while back and had no buns.... so I used a few recipes I love to invent these...

We have had them a few times since and LOVE them! I sometimes sprinkle them with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or rolled oats... but not this time;)


Here is my "hamburger" and "fries" tonight.... (Actually a Boca Burger - love 'em- and Veggie Straws! MMMMMM!)
The best part - these are WAY faster than running to the store (at least for me, I live pretty far out of town!)
Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
*Made in my Kitchenaid w/doughhook;)
Mix an a bowl -
2 Cups Warm Water
1/2 C oil
1/4 plus 2 TBSP sugar (honey may be used)
3 TBSP Yeast
let sit 15 minutes
Add 2 beaten eggs
Add 1 1/2 C High gluten bread flour
and 1/2 TBSP salt
Add 4 C or more Whole wheat flour, or until sides of bowl are clean while it mixes
I also like to add in 1/4-1/2 C ground flax seed!
Roll on counter to 3/4" thick and cut using large cup or bicuit cutter. Place in greased pan (cover with dish towel) and allow to rise 10 minutes. Bake @ 425 for 10 minutes!
Doesn't get much easier, or yummier! Good luck! Let me know if you like them!

BBQ Chicken Pizza

My family LOOOOOOOVES this pizza! In fact, I couldn't get a picture before it was half devoured! I recently tried a new pizza crust CLICK HERE and loved it! I have tried a few different whole wheat pizza crusts, and this is among the best!

Now...on to the delectable toppings

Prepare Pizza crust as instructed -
Layer with BBQ sauce
Chopped or shredded cooked chicken
Chopped or julienned red peppers
Chopped/seeded tomato's
Diced green onions
Cilantro
Part skim mozzarella
AMAZINGLY delicious! What did your family think?
