- Put the rolls on the baking tray. Let the rolls stand for another 10 minutes.

Nährwerte
By the way, you can also brush the dough with egg or milk. I have waived so that my burger buns are whole grain and vegan.
You can also spread them with an oat or soy drink if you like.
This means that even people with lactose or egg intolerances have the opportunity to have a good bite of the rolls.

How long can keep burger buns from wholemeal
Your eyes were bigger than your stomach again? You have baked too many buns and ask yourself: How long do the little breads last and how many days do I have to eat burgers?
Because the burger buns contain whole grains and yeast, they are perfect for breakfast. So the next day, you can simply cover them cold or enjoy them with hummus, cream cheese and co.
But if you want to save them for burgers, you can still eat them the next day without any problems. They do get a little dry after the 2nd day. This is because there are no artificial softeners and humectants in the dough.
If you have prepared too much, you can simply freeze them. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you're in the mood for a burger, take them out of the freezer and let them thaw. They taste like they're freshly baked. So actually, you can purposely bake more burger buns if you have room in the freezer.
Whole grain burger buns you can never have enough :)

What you can refine the burger buns with
There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to buns. You can make them even tastier with lots of spices and herbs.
If you are short of ideas and need more inspiration, here comes a small list that will help you.
- Beet powder - Add a little of it to the dough and your buns will turn reddish.
- Curry or turmeric - the buns turn yellow. Caution: Do not overdo curry has a strong taste of its own.
- Honey or Birch sugar* for sweetening
- Black sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds
- Buckwheat flour - replace about 1/4 of the flour with buckwheat flour.
- Salt: seasoning salts or chili salt
You can also add other ingredients to the buns. But don't overdo it. After all, they should not overtaste the filling.
It makes more sense to go wild with the patties, vegetables, salad and sauces. Because then you're much more flexible and don't have to worry about the filling and bun not matching.
Our conclusion
Burger buns don't have to be unhealthy. If you replace sugar and white flour, you'll get the tastiest and fluffiest buns ever :)
If you give the dough enough time to rest, nothing can go wrong with this simple recipe. Enjoy it and good luck!
