Wholemeal Heart-Shape Tuna Buns

 I have not been making bread for quite some time and the Bread Maker has been packed in the store room too long - time to get it working again.

 I always prefer wholemeal over white bread - it has better aroma, more filling and most of all healthier especially if they are homemade!

TQ all who contributed the recipe and ideas.
