Ingredients
- 240 ml Almond milk
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 15 g Coconut sugar
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 60 g Vegan butter
- 30 g Nutritional yeast
- 5 g Garlic powder
- 5 g Onion powder
- 5 g Salt
- 150 g Vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
- 14 g Chia seeds
- 60 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and water to make a chia egg, let it sit for 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
Step 2
In a saucepan over low heat, warm the almond milk until lukewarm. Do not overheat.
Step 3
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warmed almond milk, active dry yeast, and coconut sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 4
Add the chia egg, melted vegan butter, and 1/3 of the all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the remaining flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Knead the dough on medium speed for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. You may need to add a little more flour if the dough is sticky.
Step 6
Lightly grease a bowl with vegan butter, place the dough in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the shredded vegan cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Step 9
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Cover the buns loosely with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 11
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Step 12
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your vegan cheese buns warm!
