Bran Buns Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• Mix together wheat bran and buttermilk; let stand for 10 minutes.
• Beat together oil, egg, sugar and vanilla and add to buttermilk/bran mixture. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into buttermilk mixture, until just blended. Fold in raisins and spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool and enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, stir together the warm water, salt, honey, molasses, and eggs. Beat in the whole wheat flour, bran, wheat gluten, and yeast. Using a dough hook or large spoon, beat about 2 minutes. Dough will be very sticky. Turn dough into a large greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
• 2. After rising, punch down and let rest 20 minutes. Turn dough out onto a board dusted with 1/2 cup of the unbleached bread flour. Knead lightly, working in enough bread flour to make it smooth and elastic.
• 3. Divide dough into 12 pieces, and roll into balls, larger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball. Place evenly in a well-greased 9" x 13" pan. Let rise until double in volume, about 45 minutes to an hour.
• 4. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. Do not overbake. Buns should still be soft-feeling, but sound a bit hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter. Remove from pan before separating and place on cooling rack. Allow to cool prior to separating into buns. Use a sharp knife for this to get evenly-sized buns. Store tightly wrapped. Refrigerate if leftover for more than 2 days.
