Crusty Sesame Seed Buns

Crusty Sesame Seed Buns

Crusty sesame seed buns are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a delectable combination of softness and crunch. Adorned with a generous sprinkling of sesame seeds, these buns possess an irresistible nutty flavor that elevates their taste to unparalleled heights. Whether savored individually or utilized as the base for gourmet sandwiches, they are the ideal companions for gourmet burgers, succulent pulled pork, or even a simple tuna salad sandwich.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of self-rising flour

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast

  • 1 1/2 cups of very warm water

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of melted butter to brush over the top of your buns and to grease the pan

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds to be sprinkled on top of the buns

Instructions:

In a bowl, add 3 cups of self-rising flour and 1 1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast. Stir well. Then add 1 1/2 cups of very warm water and mix until combined.

 

Cover your dough with a tea towel and set the dough aside for 4 hours, allowing it to rest.

 

Now, sprinkle flour on your workspace and transfer the dough on top of the flour. Add extra flour to your dough as it's needed, and keep your hands floured because the dough will be soft and sticky.

 

Do not knead the dough. Instead, just flip the edges of it up towards the center. Do this about 12 to 15 times. Divide the dough into 8 to 10 separate pieces.

 

To shape the buns, flip the edges up towards the top centers of each piece and pinch the seams together.

 

Grease a baking tray with melted butter, then place the prepared pieces of dough on the tray with the pinched seam sides down.

 

Cover the baking tray with a tea towel, and allow the buns to rest for about 40 minutes.

 

Once the buns have rested, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. Place the baking tray into a 425-degree oven and bake for about 20 minutes.

 

Allow the buns to cool completely on a wire rack. Then serve and enjoy!

 

Note:

If you'd like your buns to be crustier (no pun intended), you can preheat your oven for 30 minutes before baking them.

I tried Martha Stewart's slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies recipe- this is how they turned out There's one lady on this earth (besides mom) that I have always simply adored; Martha Stewart.

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
