Whole wheat buns are healthy and fiber rich buns perfect for burgers or sliders. I love making bread at my home and I do it very often. Have you guys ever seen the ingredients list on the back of any kind of bread which are sold in a supermarket. Many of the ingredients are so unknown that they do not even sound edible to me. So I started baking homemade whole wheat bread while back.
Though making bread require time, patience and a little practice especially when it comes to whole wheat or whole grain bread. Whole grain bread often turns out to be tough and very dense sometimes but if you know the right recipe and perfect temperature for rising the bread, then you will be happy with your results.

Yield :- 5 whole wheat buns

Ingredients for whole wheat buns :-
