If you know me, you probably know my bread machine is one of my FAVORITE kitchen appliances! (Here’s the one I have: https://amzn.to/401LlXx)
I make homemade bread all the time, as well as other goodies! Here's a roundup of my most used + favorite recipes...
*I always add the vital wheat gluten because it seems to really make a difference with the rise!
*I used maple syrup in place of honey when my babies were under a year old, and we honestly couldn't taste the difference. 🥰

Pro Tip: I highly recommend weighing your ingredients (or at least the flour) when baking. I think it's so much easier, and it's for sure more accurate! The rule I follow is 5 oz = 1 cup of white flour and 4 oz = 1 cup of whole wheat flour.

My middle son BEGS me to make these rolls just so he can snack on them. Haha! They're so good! My bread machine has to be my #1 favorite kitchen gadget EVERRRRR. I use it several times a week to make our sandwich bread, and occasionally to make things like this! If you don't have a bread machine and are interested in one, THIS ONE is the newer version of mine. I've been super happy with it for years now!
Whole Wheat Burger Rolls
1 cup warm water
2 Tbs avocado oil
1 egg
13 oz. whole wheat flour
1 oz. vital wheat gluten
¼ cup honey
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs instant or active dry yeast
Add all ingredients in order according to your bread machine. Select the dough cycle (mine takes about an hour and a half). Once it's done, dump out the dough and divide into 8-10 pieces. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper Shape the dough into the shape of a burger bun, cover the shaped dough with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30-40 minutes. Uncover and bake in the oven at 375° for 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack and slice just before eating. Enjoy!
