300grams water (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp yeast
100grams whole wheat flour (about 3/4 cup)

300grams all-purpose white flour (about 2 1/2 cups)

Mix together, leave it to rest for 3 hours and then mix again. Leave it again for another 2 hours and then sprinkle with about a tablespoon of flour.

Remove from the bowl and knead on a clean surface to work out the bubbles.

Cut and Grate

Add a small amount of cheese and herbs to the flat dough blob.

Roll up the blob ensuring the end sticks together so it doesn't unroll.

Bake

Arrange the buns on parchment paper and cover with a tinfoil lid.

Note/tip: the tinfoil top can easily be made using a large round bowl.

Let the buns rise for 15 minutes before baking at 222C (430F) for 22 minutes.

Remove the foil cap and broil at 233C (450F) for 5 minutes to make the top golden.

Let cool, tear the buns apart and enjoy.
