WHOLE WHEAT BRAN BUNS

Steps:

• 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.
