In a large mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups of flour and yeast. In a small saucepan combine the milk, sugar, butter, and salt. Heat until the butter is just melted, no longer. Add the milk mixture to the flour along with the two beaten eggs. Add the remaining whole wheat flour and knead for about 5-10 minutes. Add more flour if necessary to prevent the dough from sticking to your bowl or work space.
Transfer dough to another bowl sprayed with cooking spray, and allow the dough to double in size, or for one hour. After risen, dump onto floured surface, and roll out with a rolling pin. Cut circles (about 3 inches across) in order to get small hamburger buns.
Transfer circles onto a baking sheet. Crack one egg white into a small bowl, and whisk for 1 minute. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the circles with egg white. (optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds if you have them). Allow to rest for about 10 minutes on the pan.
Bake at 375 for about 12 minutes, or until the tops begin to brown. Remove from oven to cool. Slice lengthwise like a hamburger bun. Makes 18.

Combine all ingredients and press small amounts into a muffin tin. Sprinkle cheese on top if you like it. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Pop out onto paper towels to blot the moisture away before you put the patties on your buns.
