Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Vegetarian sausage crumbles
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Egg, beaten
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.
Add the melted butter, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent.
Add the vegetarian sausage crumbles to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, ground black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well, then remove from heat and let it cool.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Flatten each dough portion into a circle, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a tablespoon or more of the sausage filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges up and pinch to seal, forming a bun.
Arrange the buns on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let the buns cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Savory Sausage Buns warm or at room temperature.
