Whole Wheat Sweet Buns

Its holiday time here and kids are at home. Obviously am very busy with them, since kids are at home, its quite an obligation for me to make different snacks to satisfy my kids tastebuds with healthy stuffs in it. Two days back, i quickly prepared some yeasted buns with whole wheat, wheat bran and all purpose flour with sugar pearls specially for their evening snacks. These buns turned out simply awesome, while serving with nutella spread or simply with any fruit jam, these buns were quite addictive. Everyone at home enjoyed it thoroughly and i was happy when these buns vanished very much quickly.Sending to Mireille's Taste of Tropic- Sugarcane and to Jagruti's Know Your Flour.

Make 6-8 medium sized balls from the dough and arrange them over a baking sheet lined over a baking tray.
