Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Active dry yeast
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 250 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 100 grams Vegan butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 6 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the chia seeds with the water and let sit for 10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency (this is your chia egg).
In a small saucepan, warm the almond milk until lukewarm. Remove from heat and dissolve the sugar in the almond milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes to foam.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, chia egg, and softened vegan butter.
Mix the ingredients until a dough starts to form. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns loosely with a piece of lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Just before baking, brush the tops of the buns lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the buns cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
