ingredients

2 packages (.25 ounce size) active dry yeast
1 3/4 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
5 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (more if needed)

directions

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Add wheat flour, dry milk, sugar, salt, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons butter and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough of the remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface, then knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough. Shape into buns, about 3-1/2 inches in diameter. Place on greased baking sheets and brush with 1 teaspoon of remaining butter. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake at 375 degrees F for 14-16 minutes. Remove from baking sheets and brush with remaining butter. Cool on wire racks.
