Amazing! So easy! We didn’t have sesame seeds but obviously that doesn’t change anything. Will definitely keep making these.

All I have on hand is soft white and Ezekiel Mix. Bound and determined to give it a try. :). Any ideas? Thanks! Look forward to baking something from your recipes every day. Loving them!

Yeast & I don’t mix well. Didn’t rise but I think it’s me not the recipe

Bummer! Did you knead the dough enough and use instant yeast?

Could I replace the eggs with flax meal? I am sensitive to eggs. What else might work for the egg wash? And how would I use active yeast instead of instant?

I've not tried replacing eggs in yeasted doughs - but if you have done it before it likely will work. You can do a little milk and honey or maple syrup for the egg wash. Just activate your yeast before using as usual.

Amazing and so soft! I did have to add 1/4-1/2 cup flour, it just wasn’t getting past the gooey phase. Could possibly be because I have a cheap mill that doesn’t mill as fine as others ??

Yes that could definitely be why. I’m surprised you were able to get a nice soft result, with more coarse flour - great job!

My family wanted burgers for dinner so I prepped these this morning. They were so easy! I didn’t have sesame seeds so I used everything but the bagel seasoning on top instead. We definitely sampled and they were delicious and light and fluffy. Can’t wait to have them with dinner!

Made these for a busy week of recitals and ball games this week! So easy and so good! I pat mine down flatter after rolling in a ball to create a larger and flatter bun. Let rise and bake! So good! Thank you for this recipe!

Was there a typo in this recipe? Was I supposed to add the yeast with the warm water? And then add the rest later? I feel like they’re not rising because of that and I followed the recipe exactly.
