Description

Let your bread machine do the work mixing these gorgeous whole wheat buns made with yeast, honey, molasses, and chia seeds.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups warm water
1 egg
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon molasses
2 tablespoons chia seeds
3 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons active dry yeast
cooking spray
1 tablespoon butter, melted, or more as needed

Directions

1 Place warm water, egg, olive oil, honey, molasses, chia seeds, whole wheat flour, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order listed by the manufacturer. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
2 Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Form dough into 12 buns and arrange on the baking sheet. Let rise until doubled in size, about 55 minutes.
3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4 Bake in the preheated oven until buns are golden brown, about 14 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Brush with melted butter.
