Ingredients

• 2 cups warm Water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Yeast
• 1/3 cup Honey
• 1/2 tablespoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 3 cups all purpose Flour
• 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour (Or replace the whole wheat and use all white flour. Use 2 1/2 to 3 cups, along with the 3 cups stated above)

Directions

• Mix water, yeast, and honey until yeast and honey are dissolved. Add the salt, butter, and 4-1/2 cups of flour to make a soft dough.
• Beat with a stand mixer for a minute or two (or knead a minute), adding the other 1/2 cup flour as needed to help dough be less sticky (you may not need all of it- and it will still be somewhat sticky). Let it rest 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove to a floured surface and knead by hand a few times. Press dough flat on floured surface and cut into 18-24 breadsticks (depending on the size you want) and lay out with 1/2-inch between them on a greased baking sheet OR
• Cut into 12-14 even pieces for hamburger (or hot dog) buns and using floured hands, shape each into a ball. Slightly flatten the balls (elongate for hot dogs) and place on a greased cookie sheet.
• Let rise 10 to 15 minutes until almost doubled.
• Bake bread sticks for 10 to 12 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter and garlic.
• Bake buns for 12 to 15 minutes until golden.
