Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseeds
- 2.5 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 cup Ground hazelnuts
- 0.5 cup Chopped hazelnuts
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds with water. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the almond milk and coconut oil until the oil is melted. Be careful not to let it boil. Let it cool until lukewarm.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Pour the lukewarm almond milk and oil mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the flax egg and vanilla extract. Mix with a wooden spoon or a dough hook until well combined and a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Add the ground and chopped hazelnuts to the dough and knead the dough, either by hand on a lightly floured surface or with a stand mixer for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Step 8
Shape each piece into a bun by bringing the edges to the center and pinching them together. Place the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, seam-side down.
Step 9
Cover the buns with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffy.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 11
Once the buns have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the outside.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
