Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Sugar
- 7 g Salt
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 220 ml Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 45 g Vegan butter, softened
- 15 ml Plant-based milk (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Warm the plant-based milk slightly to about 37°C (lukewarm) and pour it into the dry mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the ingredients start coming together.
Add the softened vegan butter to the dough. Use your hands or a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking tray, leaving some space between each bun. Cover the tray with a damp cloth and let the buns rest for another 30 minutes, allowing them to rise again.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the tops of the buns with plant-based milk to help them achieve a golden-brown crust.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through.
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain, with vegan butter, or as part of your favorite meal!
