These golden, glossy buns feature a soft, olive oil-enriched dough stuffed with a hearty dairy-free sausage blend, enhanced by sautéed onions, garlic, soy sauce, and fresh parsley for a burst of savory goodness in every bite.

Perfect for potlucks, picnics, or casual gatherings, these versatile buns are best served warm and pair beautifully with a side of salad or soup for a wholesome experience.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt.
Slowly pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the sausage filling. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the dairy-free sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft.
Stir in the minced garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Flatten each piece into a circle and place a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture in the center.
Carefully gather the edges of the dough circle and pinch them together to seal the filling inside. Shape the bun into a neat ball.
Place the buns, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns with a cloth and let them rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the tops of the buns with your chosen egg substitute or flax egg for a glossy finish.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.
