Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant dry yeast
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 7 grams Salt
- 240 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 60 grams Vegan butter, melted
- 60 milliliters Water, warm
- 5 grams Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, instant dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the salt.
Warm the almond milk until lukewarm (not hot) and combine it with the melted vegan butter.
Pour the yeast mixture and the almond milk mixture into the bowl with the flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead for 6-8 minutes.
Lightly coat a large mixing bowl with the neutral oil. Place the dough ball into the bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide it into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Cover them lightly with a damp kitchen towel and let them rise for 30-40 minutes until puffed up.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Brush the tops of the buns with a little almond milk to encourage browning if desired.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite fillings!
