Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Almond milk
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 15 g Coconut sugar
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 60 g Vegan butter
- 30 g Nutritional yeast
- 5 g Garlic powder
- 5 g Onion powder
- 5 g Salt
- 150 g Vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
- 14 g Chia seeds
- 60 ml Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and water to make a chia egg, let it sit for 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
In a saucepan over low heat, warm the almond milk until lukewarm. Do not overheat.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warmed almond milk, active dry yeast, and coconut sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the chia egg, melted vegan butter, and 1/3 of the all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
Gradually add the remaining flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Knead the dough on medium speed for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. You may need to add a little more flour if the dough is sticky.
Lightly grease a bowl with vegan butter, place the dough in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the shredded vegan cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the buns loosely with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your vegan cheese buns warm!
