Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 piece Egg
- 0.25 cup Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt, and whisk them together to ensure even distribution.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the almond milk and coconut oil until the coconut oil has melted. Do not let it come to a boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool to a lukewarm temperature, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the sugar and warm water until the sugar is dissolved. Add the egg and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, mixing with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to form. Then knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, either by hand or with a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough to release the air, then divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
Place the shaped buns on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion.
Cover the buns with a cloth and let them rise again for another 20 minutes.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they have a golden-brown color.
Remove the buns from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
