Ingredients
- 120 grams Active sourdough starter
- 180 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Plant-based milk (for brushing, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm water, olive oil, and maple syrup. Stir until well mixed.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until a rough dough forms. Use your hands if necessary.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can knead it in a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 4-6 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size. Fermentation time may vary depending on the strength of your sourdough starter and the ambient temperature.
Step 5
Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Step 6
Shape each piece into a ball by tucking the edges underneath and rolling it gently against the surface with your palm. Place the shaped buns onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
Step 7
Cover the buns loosely with a kitchen towel and let them proof for an additional 2-3 hours, or until they have puffed up significantly.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the buns with plant-based milk and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Step 9
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 10
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
