Buns

by Ozery Bakery

These artisanal buns are a better-than-average bakery option with whole grain flour and real fruit ingredients. While they contain added sugar and refined flour, they avoid most concerning additives and use natural preservation methods.

• Unbleached Wheat Flour (enriched) – safe · Refined flour that's been enriched with vitamins and minerals. While not as nutritious as whole grain, unbleached is better than bleached flour.
• Filtered Water – beneficial · Clean water used for dough formation, free from contaminants.
• Whole Grain Wheat Flour Including Germ – beneficial · Nutritious whole grain flour that retains the bran and germ, providing fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
• Cranberries – safe · Real fruit providing antioxidants and flavor, though sweetened with added sugar.
• Organic Cane Sugar – safe · Natural sweetener that's organic but still contributes to blood sugar spikes when consumed in excess.
• Orange Puree – beneficial · Real fruit puree providing natural flavor and some vitamin C, though concentrated juices increase sugar content.
• Sourdough – beneficial · Traditional fermented dough starter that improves digestibility and provides beneficial bacteria for gut health.
• Crushed Oranges – beneficial · Whole fruit pieces providing fiber, vitamins, and natural flavor without concentration.
• Yeast – beneficial · Natural leavening agent that helps bread rise and provides B vitamins.

• Sunflower Oil – safe · A seed oil that's high in omega-6 fatty acids, used in small amounts for texture.
• Cultured Wheat Starch – safe · Natural preservative created through fermentation that helps extend shelf life without synthetic additives.
• Citric Acid – safe · Natural acid found in citrus fruits, used as a preservative and to enhance fruit flavors.
• Amylase – safe · Natural enzyme that breaks down starches to improve bread texture and shelf life.
• Ascorbic Acid – beneficial · Vitamin C used as a natural dough conditioner to improve texture and rise.
• Niacin – beneficial · Vitamin B3 added to enriched flour to replace nutrients lost in processing.
• Iron (Ferrous Sulphate) – safe · Iron fortification to prevent deficiency, though synthetic forms are less bioavailable than natural sources.
• Thiamin Mononitrate – beneficial · Vitamin B1 added to enriched flour for nutritional fortification.
