 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/4  cups          warm water (about 100F)
      1/3  cup           mild oil
      1/4  cup           sugar (or honey)
    2      packages      yeast (2 scant Tbsp)
    4      teaspoons     salt
    1                    egg yolk
    2 1/2  cups          whole wheat flour
    1      cup           bread flour (or all-purpose flour)

 for 15 minutes. Mix in the salt, egg yolk, whole wheat flour, and white
 flour and combine until thoroughly mixed (at least 10 minutes). On a floured
 board, roll the dough out until it is about 3/4-inch thick. cut circles of
 dough about 4-inch in diameter with a cutter (or use a large empty can that
 you have washed out).
 
 Place the buns on a cookie sheet, brush the tops with melted butter, and
 allow to raise for 30 minutes. 
 
 Bake at 425F for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
