It Bakes Me Happy: White Wheat Burger Buns
Whenever the urge to bake bread arises I always try to indulge it, since one day I hope to be a master bread baker and no longer frequent my local Publix bakery when in need. Few things in life are as good as warm fresh bread and what better way to enjoy your lunch than on a freshly baked bun?I ate mine pilled high with pulled pork and BBQ sauce, but these buns make a great vehicle for any sandwich your heart desires. Double the recipe and freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months and the next time you need fresh bread you’ll avoid a trip to the store. Enjoy and happy baking!

    I just had my first encounter with yeast making homemade bagels last weekend. These buns look amazing! I am a new follower and found your blog through the GYBN party.

    I’m with you on the bread. Don’t think I’ve shop bought bread in months. It’s so much fun! These look pretty tasty as well, love the decoration on top, is that poppy seeds?

    Yum. I love homemade bread. I always say the same thing as you – One day I will be a fantastic bread baker and won’t buy it from Publix anymore. I’ve made some good loaves but they take so long to make! So alas, Publix still finds me buying their bread sometimes. 🙂

    Pinning this. I love the poppyseeds on top!

    These look so wonderful. I am definitely trying this one. I am too determine to become a bread baker. Nothing like bread baking in your own oven.
