Recipe: Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins (buns/rolls using wheat flour, wheat bran and honey)

WHOLE WHEAT SANDWICH THINS

"Make your own sandwich thins!"



3 to 3 1/4 cups whole wheat flour, divided use
1/2 cup wheat bran
1 envelope Fleischmann's RapidRise Yeast
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Mazola Corn Oil
1 egg

Combine 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, wheat bran, undissolved yeast, vital wheat gluten and salt in large mixer bowl; set aside.

Heat 1 1/4 cups water, honey and oil until very warm (120 to 130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture with egg and beat until well mixed; let rest 5 minutes.

Beat in 1 cup whole wheat flour until well mixed. Stir in remaining flour until soft dough forms. Knead on lightly floured surface for 5 to 6 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Cut into 16 equal portions; shape into balls. Roll or pat each dough ball into a 3 1/2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.

Place on greased baking sheets, leaving several inches between each. Prick each sandwich thin multiple times with a fork (to ensure an even rise). Lightly brush with water. Cover and let rise in a warm draft-free place for 30 minutes, until puffy.

Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 13 to 15 minutes until bottoms of sandwich thins are lightly browned. Cool completely.

Carefully slice in half and fill with favorite sandwich fixings!
