hot dog buns -- the virtuous kind

My kid wanted hot dogs.  We don't often use packaged food, but I don't want to make it all taboo and therefore seductive.  These whole grain kamut buns include chia seeds, quinoa flakes, and almond flour. The don't taste 'hearty' like our bread does. The went well with some veggie dogs ...





1 cup water
1 tsp honey
2 tsp yeast

2 tsp sea salt
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup quinoa flakes
2 3/4 cups kamut flour
1/4 cup ground chia seeds


ingredients:

1. combine the dry ingredients in a bowl
2. mix the honey into water that is just warmer than your finger (bath temp should be fine)
3. mix in the yeast and let it proof
4. pour the slurry onto the dry ingredients and knead until the dough is nice and elastic and has that slightly clammy feeling that we like so well. I use Obsidian Betelgeuse for this (my electric mixer), but it can all be done by hand.
5. divide the dough into 18 equal portions, and form each one into a stick
6. allow to rise then bake at 345 for 20 minutes
