Ingredients

  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Sourdough Starter
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 3 cups Kamut (Khorasan) Flour

Instructions

  • If using fresh milled Kamut flour, mill your wheat berries on the fine setting of your grain mill. For this recipe I milled 2 cups of Kamut berries.
  • In a large bowl, combine the water, oil, and sourdough starter. Mix well until mixture is cloudy.
  • Add the flour and salt and mix just until combined and no dry bits of flour remain.
  • Cover and let the dough sit for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, turn the dough onto a lightly flour surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until stretchy and glossy.
  • Alternatively, you can mix the dough in a stand mixer, cover for 30 minutes, and come back to knead the dough with a dough hook attachment.
  • After the dough is kneaded, return to the bowl, cover and let rise for 4-6 hours until the dough is noticeably puffy and risen by at least 25 percent.
  • Turn the risen dough onto a work surface and divide into 6 equal pieces.
  • Shape each piece of dough into a ball (hamburger bun shape) and place on a sheet pan that is either lightly greased or lined with a piece of parchment paper.
  • Cover with a damp tea towel and let the shaped buns rise an additional 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

Store cooled buns in a plastic bag or airtight container on the counter for 3-4 days.
Freeze in freezer bag for 2-3 months.
