Fluffy, light, filling, delicious and – whole wheat?!! Amazing. 🙂
Didn’t have chia seeds and made a loaf instead of buns. Some of the best bread I’ve ever had, wheat or white! Thanks for sharing the recipe
Awesome recipe! Tasted just right Turned out brown, light and fluffy.
Wow! These buns were soooo light and fluffy! And 100% whole wheat! I will definitely be making these again 🙂
Amazing!
I just made this for the first time and we are all in love with them, including my 2 munchkins (ages 6 and 8). They were perfect!
