Vegan Burger Buns – The Right Ingredients Make The Difference
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Whip up the dough by combining 1 cup of lukewarm water, a pinch of sugar, and a packet of active dry yeast. Leaving the mix for 5-10 minutes will help you see if the yeast is alive. If it gets frothy, you’re good to go. If not, try again with a different yeast packet.
  2. Meanwhile, measure out 420 grams of all-purpose flour and add the salt. For the vegan egg substitute, use applesauce, hydrated ground flaxseed or aquafaba. If you go for aquafaba, you could also use it instead of eggwash before baking.
  3. Once the yeast is activated, combine it with a bit more sugar, egg substitute, and vegetable oil in a large bowl.
  4. Fold in the flour and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it’s smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. If it’s sticking like crazy, sprinkle a bit more flour, but don’t go overboard. Let the dough rest in a covered, oiled bowl in a warm place. You want it to double in size, which should take about an hour.
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down, divide it into eight equal pieces, and shape them into buns on a lined baking sheet. Cover for a second hour-long rise until they’re puffy.
  6. Preheat your oven to 190°C. If you’re feeling fancy, brush the tops of your bunds with aquafaba, vegan milk, or dairy-free butter for a glossy finish.
  7. Bake them for about 18-20 minutes until they’re golden and sound hollow when tapped.
