Description

These easy flower shaped buns are not only pretty, but they taste amazing, too. With fresh butter to melt on top they’re a smash hit for the fall season.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 350gr Whole Wheat Flour
  • ¼ Cup Vegetable Oil
  • ½ Tbsp + 1 ½ Tbsp Honey (divided)
  • ¼ Cup + ½ Cup Warm Water (divided)
  • 1 Tbsp Dry Yeast

For Honey Syrup for brushing:

  • 1 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 Tbsp Boiling Hot Water

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, place the Yeast with ½ Tbsp honey and ¼ cup warm water and stir. Set aside for about 10 minutes until foam forms).
  2. In the meantime, prepare the rest of the dough by placing the flour, oil, 1 ½ Tbsp honey and diced apple in a stand mixer bowl.
  3. Add in the yeast mixture and start mixing on low-medium speed with the knead attachment. Gradually add the additional ½ cup warm water while stirring until a soft and a bit sticky dough forms (about 3 minutes).
  4. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes and then place back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until the dough almost doubles in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 185C (365F) and layer a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. After about 45 minutes, dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch it to deflate it.
  7. Divide into 9 pieces and start shaping. You can shape into any bun shape.
  8. For flower shape, follow the images below (roll the dough, flatten a bit, cut edges of roll, roll into a spiral).
  9. place shaped buns onto the baking sheet and cover all with clean kitchen towel and set aside for 30-35 minutes in a warm place to let the buns rise.
  10. After 30-35 minutes, place in the preheated oven and bake for 17-20 minutes until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when you tap on them.
  11. While the buns are baking make the honey syrup to brush them with, by mixing together the honey and boiling hot water.
  12. Once the buns are out of the oven, brush them with the syrup while they’re still hot and let cool.
